‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ was a massive box office success when it hit theaters in 2013. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Kalki Koechlin, the beloved film even saw a re-release last month. Kunal Roy Kapur, who played Taran in Ayan Mukerji’s directorial, recently addressed the possibility of a sequel.
In a new interview with Bollywood Bubble, he shared his thoughts on whether fans can expect a sequel to the iconic film. Kunal Roy Kapur said: "It is complete. It is already done right? The journeys of those characters are done. They are not needed really.”
In the film, Kalki's character, Aditi, marries Taran after accepting that her love for Avinash was one-sided. When asked if Aditi and Taran would still be together after all these years, Kunal said, "Given the graph of the movie, they would not be in a divorce court. They would definitely be a happily married couple. I can’t tell if she would be happily married with Taran, but he would probably be happy.”
While Kunal isn’t convinced about a sequel, Ranbir previously revealed that director Ayan Mukerji had a solid story in mind for a follow-up with the same characters. During a 2023 fan interaction, Ranbir mentioned, “I think Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani would make a good sequel... Ayan also had a very nice story, I remember, but then he went into this Brahmastra journey. But, never say never. He might make it after a couple of years. I think the story will be 10 years forward where Bunny, Naina, Avi and Aditi, where they are in their lives. I think it’ll be quite interesting and nice to explore those characters.”
‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ (2013) features Ranbir Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, Deepika Padukone, and Kalki Koechlin in lead roles. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film was reportedly made on a budget of Rs 75 crore and became a massive box office hit.
