Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na Director Reveals Sequel Idea He Pitched To Aamir Khan: 'This Is The Stupidest Thing'

Bollywood movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008), which starred Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza in the lead roles, is a beloved classic of the coming-of-age romantic comedy genre. Now, 16 years later, when Khan is on the verge of announcing his comeback, many have wondered if there will be a sequel to the movie. Director Abbas Tyrewala, in a recent interview, discussed the possibility of a sequel, revealing his idea for a sequel that he pitched to Aamir Khan, who was the producer of the film.

A post shared by Abbas Tyrewala (@abbas.tyrewala) Speaking about the same, Tyrewala said, “I don’t know if I am allowed to say this. Aamir Khan is rather sensitive about what should be spoken of and what not but, shortly after Jaane Tu , I came up with an idea for the sequel.



I wasn’t sure if I was joking or not. I took it to Khan Saab and told him that the film starts with Jay and Aditi living separately. They are separated and Jay has an affair with Meghna.

Aamir said, ‘I don’t care who makes the sequel to Jaane Tu, it will never be you.’ He said this is the stupidest thing.” jaane tu ya jaane na is the most insufferable romance like literally I don’t believe two best friends who are possessive over each other and have special nicknames they don’t let others use don’t know they’re in love like.

After all that romance, what will happen is that they will get sick of each other, they will want to get divorced, he will be drunk somewhere, he will meet Meghna and he will end up.

.. So to me, Jay and Meghna have a scene and Jay and Aditi split up as a result and how they don’t split was supposed to be the story.

Aamir said, ‘Never refer to this movie again. Thank God you directed just one, never refer to it again.’” For those who don’t remember, Meghna was Jay’s girlfriend in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na , and was played by Manjari Fadnis.
