Farhan Akhtar does not get bored of hearing about demands for Dil Chahta Hai sequel: “I always appreciate that”

Dil Chahta Hai remains a classic. From Goa plans to friendship, it navigated the lives of three men starring Aamir Khan, Akshaye Khanna and Saif Ali Khan. It's been 23 years since the film was released marking Farhan Akhtar's foray into cinema as a director and changing the era of content in the industry. However, there have been calls for a sequel and it doesn't bore Farhan to hear it.

Speaking to Indian Express during Madgaon Express promotions, Farhan Akhtar said, “It doesn’t bore me. Whenever someone asks me that, it feels amazing that people have so much love for the first film that they are asking for the sequel. I always appreciate that, so it can’t bore me ever. But I don’t feel I need to do a Dil Chahta Hai 2. I feel that film has done what it had to do, I said what I had to say. Anything on it now will be trying to add something to a story that doesn’t need any additions.”

“For me films like a Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara to a certain extent the first Rock On, Jee Le Zara — obviously that is still to be made — but they occupy the same kind of emotional space in terms of the stories that are being told that I experienced when I did Dil Chahta Hai. So I have never thought about going back and doing a sequel,” he added.

Meanwhile, Excel Entertainment’s Madgaon Express was released in theatres today. It stars Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi, Avinash Tiwary and Nora Fatehi among others. It marks the directorial debut of Kunal Kemmu. ALSO READ: Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas get decked up as they head to Farhan Akhtar’s residence for a get-together, see video
