Farhan Akhtar shares heartbreaking update on Dil Chahta Hai sequel: ‘I said what I had to say’

For over two decadesyears, fans have eagerly anticipated a reunion of the beloved on-screen trio of Akash, Sid and Sameer from Dil Chahta Hai, perhaps to delve into the theme of mid-life challenges. However, filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has made it clear that he hasn't contemplated extending the film's storyline, which originally featured Aamir Khan, Akshaye Khanna and Saif Ali Khan in unforgettable roles.

Talking to the Indian Express, Farhan Akhtar revealed that the topic of Dil Chahta Hai never bores him. He said,“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.”
