Is a Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara sequel on the cards?

During a December 2023 interview with ANI, Zoya Akhtar, who directed Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, addressed the possibility of a sequel. Though she did not entirely shoot down the idea of a sequel, she made it clear that jumping into one, just for the sake of the kind of money it would make, was an absolute no-go. 

She said, "That movie meant a lot to us. So if we find that soul for part two, we will make it. We don't want to do it just for money. When the audience comes to watch the second part, they will have a certain expectation and we must give it to them, otherwise, they won't be happy." For the time being, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara can be streamed on Netflix.
