Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Reunite at the IIFA 2025 Press Conference, Imtiaz Ali Addresses Jab We Met Sequel Speculations
Imtiaz Ali, known for his successful collaboration with Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor in the beloved film Jab We Met, recently commented on the excitement surrounding a potential sequel to the 2007 classic.
In a moment that stirred up a wave of nostalgia, Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor made headlines with their affectionate reunion at the IIFA 2025 press conference. The once-celebrated pair, who captivated audiences both on and off-screen, were seen sharing a friendly embrace and engaging in light-hearted conversation, much to the delight of fans and media present. This rare interaction sparked a flurry of excitement among followers of the actors, who eagerly reminisced about their on-screen chemistry.
The renewed interest in their relationship coincided with Imtiaz Ali’s recent comments about the beloved film following the actors’ appearance together. Ali noted the surge of discussions about a sequel, particularly after their joint appearance at the awards event in Jaipur, where they were affectionately remembered as Aditya and Geet, the iconic characters from his film.
He remarked, “It is fascinating that Shahid and Kareena’s encounter has led to a discussion about ‘Jab We Met’. Shahid has expressed that it seems I have moved on from the project, but I believe everyone has, given the significant time that has passed since the film’s release.” His insights were shared with PTI as he reflected on the actors’ current journeys.
Emphasizing the importance of cherishing the original film, he continued, “I feel it’s best to hold on to what we have rather than dilute it with a sequel. While I’m not planning a project with Shahid and Kareena in the near future, it’s wonderful that they connected, as both actors are truly exceptional.”
Jab We Met, which solidified its status as a cult classic upon its release, remains a treasured film among fans of romantic comedies. The movie is celebrated for its engaging storytelling and impactful performances by both lead actors, contributing to its enduring legacy in the Indian film industry.
