The internet is abuzz with excitement as fans speculate whether a sequel to the beloved film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is in the works, following a cryptic post from Dharma Productions.
On Monday, Dharma Productions shared a memorable still from the 2013 romantic comedy-drama, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. The post was accompanied by the caption, “Humein inse pyaar ho jaayega…phir se! #StayTuned.” This sparked immediate fan reactions, with many wondering if the studio was hinting at a sequel or possibly a re-release of the film.
Comments on the post ranged from enthusiastic questions like, “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani 2.0?” to speculation about a re-release: “Is it YJHD 2 or Re-release?” Some fans expressed their excitement, writing, “very excited for the sequel, but please don’t spoil it,” while others eagerly hoped for a sequel, using crossed fingers and crying emojis. Although the buzz is palpable, it’s also possible that the post could be hinting at a re-release, as older films like Kal Ho Naa Ho and Tumbbad have seen successful theatrical runs this year.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani was a massive box-office hit, becoming the third film to cross ₹300 crore globally, following 3 Idiots and Ek Tha Tiger. The film followed the coming-of-age story of four friends, played by Kapoor, Padukone, Kalki Koechlin, and Aditya Roy Kapur, and resonated with audiences for its relatable themes of love, friendship, and self-discovery.
In a previous interview, Ranbir Kapoor had hinted at the possibility of a sequel. He shared, “I think Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani would make a good sequel. Ayan also had a very nice story, I remember, but then he went into the Brahmastra journey. But, never say never. He might make it after a couple of years. I think the story will be 10 years forward, exploring where Bunny, Naina, Avi, and Aditi are in their lives.”
With the excitement around the potential sequel, fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next from Dharma Productions.
