Last year, rumors circulated online that Imtiaz Ali is in talks to create a sequel to his smash blockbuster film Jab We Met (2007), starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan. In fact, during a discussion session on X in June 2023, Shahid indicated that he and Imtiaz would soon collaborate on a film, which aroused their fans' attention and left many wondering if he meant Jab We Met sequel. However, the filmmaker explicitly said that there was no reality behind it.

In a recent interview with News18 Showsha, Imtiaz hinted that a chance to make a sequel of the film is rather slim. He said, "Why have a sequel to Jab We Met (laughs)? If people want to keep relishing the film, they can keep watching the first one! There has to be a story and a reason to make Jab We Met 2. But let's see if it happens. Never say never!"

In 2020, Imtiaz Ali revisited his own love story with Love Aaj Kal, a film featuring fresh faces Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan. This spiritual successor to the 2009 hit with Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone wasn't as fortunate at the box office. Quiz him if that's the reason why he has reservations about helming a sequel to Jab We Met, and he said, "I made Love Aaj Kal the second time and people didn't love it that much (laughs). Just kidding! That's not the reason why I don't want to make a sequel to Jab We Met. But unless there's a really passionate reason to make a sequel, one shouldn't."

He does, however, express his desire to work with Kareena again after Jab We Met. Explaining why the reunion hasn't happened yet, the Rockstar and Tamasha creator said, "Whenever you work with an actor, there's also a responsibility to not do anything just for the sake of it. The idea is to reunite only when there's a better or a completely different project compared to what you've done before."

Jab We Met was such a great cooperation that Imtiaz would not want to ruin it by sending her a mediocre script in order to keep their relationship going. "Kareena and I are so fond of working with each other, but we've never had the chance to work again till date because there was nothing different and unique enough or better than what we've done before," he opined.

Imtiaz, who's currently riding high on the super success of his latest outing Amar Singh Chamkila, further continued, "It has to be something interesting, otherwise, it's useless. We don't want to dull the memory of Jab We Met. If you've had a great experience working with an actor, the next experience should also be good, otherwise there's no point. I look at it that way."
