Abbas Tyrewala and Imran Khan on Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na sequel

Imran spoke about how people often come up to him and grab him by the shirt, demanding to know about the film’s sequel. In response, Abbas said, “That’s my Instagram DM every day. Very shortly after the film’s release, I went to Aamir with an idea for the sequel — at some point, Jai and Aditi (Imran and Genelia D’Souza’s characters in the film) would fight. I told him, ‘Let’s start the sequel at the point when Jai and Aditi are on the verge of separation. Jai will bump into Meghna (Jai’s former love interest in the film) at a party and he is drunk.’”
