The reunion of Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan has brought back nostalgic memories, but it seems that a sequel to Jab We Met is not in the works.
Film director Imtiaz Ali has addressed the recent buzz surrounding a potential sequel to his 2007 film Jab We Met, following the reunion of the movie's lead stars, Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan, at the IIFA Awards 2025.
Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan, who starred in Jab We Met, recently reunited at the IIFA Awards 2025 in Jaipur, sparking a nostalgic reaction from fans. The two actors, who were in a serious relationship in the past, shared a warm hug at the event, which marked a departure from their past awkward encounters after their breakup. Imtiaz Ali, who directed the romantic drama, finds it interesting that fans are asking him to make a sequel to the film.
However, Ali stated that he thinks everyone has moved on from the film and it's been too long since its release. He also mentioned that he's not planning a movie with Shahid and Kareena specifically, but it's great that they met and are fantastic actors. Ali's latest film, My Melbourne, an anthology directed by him and others, is set to be released on March 14.
Shahid Kapoor recently performed to Mauja Hi Mauja from Jab We Met at the IIFA Awards, which sparked a nostalgic reaction from fans. The performance came after he reunited with ex-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor on the green carpet. Fans felt that Kareena should have joined him on stage, with many commenting on social media that it would have been great to see her perform alongside him.
The reunion of Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan has brought back memories of their past films together, including Fida, Chup Chup Ke, and Jab We Met. The two have since moved on, with Kareena marrying Saif Ali Khan and Shahid marrying Mira Rajput. Despite the buzz surrounding a potential sequel to Jab We Met, Imtiaz Ali's latest project, My Melbourne, is highly anticipated and set to release soon.
