Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar has completed the first draft of the script for a sequel to the 2011 film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, according to multiple reports. The development marks the first publicly reported milestone in the long-discussed follow-up to the original movie.
Industry sources say that Akhtar is in talks with the original lead actors — Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, and Abhay Deol — about returning for the project. Negotiations are reportedly ongoing, but no official confirmations or contracts have been announced so far.
The story of the sequel is expected to revisit the characters from the first film at a later stage in their lives. Details regarding the plot, locations, or narrative direction have not been formally disclosed.
Speculation around a sequel has surfaced periodically over the years, most recently after the three actors appeared together in social media posts that drew attention from fans. However, those posts were related to brand collaborations and did not include any formal announcement about a film.
Reports also note that Akhtar is currently involved in other projects, which could influence the timeline for moving the sequel into production.
At present, there is no confirmation regarding shooting schedules, release plans, or final casting.
