Farhan Akhtar Provides Update on ‘ZNMD’ Sequel: ‘I’d Give My Left Arm to Be Part of It

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) is a critically acclaimed Bollywood film directed by Zoya Akhtar and produced by Farhan Akhtar. Since its release, it has garnered a dedicated cult following, with fans expressing fervent hopes for a reunion of the original cast in a sequel.

In a recent chat with Raj Shamani, Farhan Akhtar shared intriguing insights about the potential sequel. He revealed that any discussions regarding a follow-up to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara should be directed to Zoya Akhtar, the film’s director. Farhan humorously stated that he would be “willing to give his left arm” to be a part of the sequel. He also mentioned that fellow cast members Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif, and Abhay Deol have all urged Zoya to consider the project, but she is waiting for the right inspiration to come along.

The film follows three friends, portrayed by Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, and Abhay Deol, who embark on an unforgettable road trip across Spain as part of a bachelor party. Throughout their journey, each character confronts personal fears and unresolved issues, leading to profound growth and self-discovery. The ensemble cast also includes Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin in pivotal roles, adding depth to the narrative.
