There have been speculations that filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is in talks to direct a sequel to his super-hit cult classic film, ‘Jab We Met’, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor. Now, in an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Imtiaz addressed the rumours and said, ‘No, it’s not happening.’ He further added, ‘I don’t have a story for Jab We Met 2 yet. I’ve heard of these and read these reports and articles. Nobody asked me before publishing them, so I don’t know what to say. But let’s see what happens.’ In June this year, Shahid during a chat session on X hinted that he may soon be collaborating with Imtiaz on a film. A fan on X had asked Shahid, ‘I’ve noticed that you and Imtiaz Ali have been interacting a lot recently! Is there any project in the works?’ To this, he replied, ‘Smart Boy’. Currently, Imtiaz Ali is busy working on his next directorial, ‘Chamkila’, which is an AR Rahman musical, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra. Sharing an update on the film, Imtiaz said, ‘It’s coming pretty soon. I hope the audience likes it when they see it. Shooting for Chamkila felt like a very different experience as a filmmaker. It involved a lot of unlearning, which is why I felt very fresh while making it and I’m sure that the audience will also witness that once they watch it.’ He added, ‘Working on a story like Chamkila helped me reconnect with a different side of myself and in the process, I felt very invigorated and rejuvenated. I truly can’t wait for everyone to watch it.’ ‘Chamkila’ is based on the true story of Amar Singh Chamkila, the legendary musician from Punjab who rose to fame in the 1980s with his powerful music. He was assassinated at the young age of 27. Also Watch | Hrithik Roshan shares pic with ‘Fighter’ director Siddharth Anand on ‘Bang Bang’, ‘War’ anniversary
