Farhan Akhtar on a sequel to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, "We need to justify the sequel"

Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) marked fourteen years on July 15. The film’s theme of male bonding remains dewdrop fresh. Fans of the cult film have clamoured for a sequel for years. Farhan, who played one of the leads, said that he is aware of the clamour for a follow up. “But we need to justify the sequel,” he said. “It would be interesting to see what the three friends (played by Farhan, Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol) are doing with their lives after so many years.” Farhan recalls the ZNMD experience with pleasure. “The film was shot extensively in Spain. All of us-Zoya, Hrithik, Abhay, Katrina (Kaif), Kalki (Koechlin) and me…became this little commune travelling across Spain. We travelled a lot. Spain has everything from beaches to mountains. We made sure every scene was fun. Abhay, Hrithik and I spent a lot of time together. We really had some serious fun. Hrithik, I knew for a long time. Abhay I got to know during this film. He’s a very cool guy,” he said...

In an interview with Hindi Rush, Zareen said, “I cannot really understand today’s paparazzi culture. I’m not saying all of them do it, but there are many paps who zoom in on areas where there’s absolutely no need to.” The actress, recognized for her role in Veer, highlighted how this kind of content not only disrespects the individual but also misguides the audience. She emphasized that attention should be on a celebrity’s face and their work, rather than on random close-ups. “A celebrity is known by their face, right? So how can you show some random body part and ask ‘Guess who?’ And that too a weird body part. I don’t understand what they’re ...

24 Years of Aks: Manoj Bajpayee calls it his “Most imaginative performance”

Manoj, Aks remains one of your most important early films. Absolutely. Aks was a very, very important film in my career. I signed it in 1999, right after Satya, Shool, and Kaun. Anurag Kashyap told me Rakeysh Mehra wanted to meet me. When I met him and heard the narration till the interval, it was immediately clear—I had to be a part of it. Wasn’t the role quite challenging? Yes. I could see it would really test me. My character, Raghavan, needed to be approached differently. There were no dialogues initially—I had to create everything in my head. Aks was a unique take on good versus evil. Exactly. Evil is vast—it can be attractive, greedy, brutal, even charming. I had to embody all of that. This was someone who had achieved Siddhi, who could see the future. It was a complex portrayal. Your character kept evolving. It became clear to the audience that this was a formidable character. I kept improvising, rehearsing in my apartment in front of Rakeysh. Eventually, I performed a versio...
