Kalki Koechlin on ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ sequel: You can’t make another one | Hindi Movie News

Kalki Koechlin recently opened up about the possibility of a sequel to the 2013 blockbuster ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ (YJHD) during an interview on AfterHours with All About Eve.
The actress, who won hearts as the spirited Aditi in the film, revealed that no plans for a sequel have been discussed. She admitted, “It’ll be hard to get that magic back,” adding that most sequels tend to be disappointing.
Fans have long speculated about a follow-up to Ayan Mukerji’s coming-of-age drama, which starred Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Kalki Koechlin, and Aditya Roy Kapur. Addressing these rumors, Kalki said, “I have heard no such rumors,” while emphasizing the timeless charm of the original. “You can’t make another one,” she added, referencing the deep-rooted friendship between Bunny, Naina, Aditi, and Avi that resonated with audiences.
Kalki also weighed in on the fan debate surrounding Ranbir Kapoor’s character, Bunny, who is often labeled “selfish” for prioritizing his dreams over relationships. “I really didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about him,” Kalki said with a laugh, before jokingly admitting, “That’s terrible, isn’t it?” when the host pointed out Bunny’s tendency to avoid accountability, including his spontaneous proposal to Naina in the climax.
‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ remains a cult favorite, celebrated for its depiction of friendship, love, and youthful aspirations. However, Kalki acknowledged the challenges of living up to its legacy. “It’s rare to have a good sequel,” she concluded.
While fans may hold onto hopes for ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani 2’, Koechlin’s candid reflections serve as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the original. For now, it seems the magic of Bunny, Naina, Aditi, and Avi will remain untouched.
