Imtiaz Ali Discusses Main Vaapas Aaunga, Views on Love Aaj Kal 2 and Jab We Met 2PreviousNext

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali discussed his upcoming film Main Vaapas Aaunga, emphasizing its focus on a personal love story set during the Partition. He expressed disinterest in making sequels purely for commercial reasons, calling his 2020 film Love Aaj Kal 2 a "useless experiment" that was originally a separate story titled Reverse. While he is not involved in a Jab We Met sequel, Ali welcomed the idea of others making Jab We Met 2 with his new actors, though he would not write it himself.
