Get ready, Bollywood fans, this is real. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is coming back. Thirteen years after the original movie turned a bachelor road trip into something unforgettable, Zoya Akhtar has finally finished the first draft for the sequel. People are buzzing online. Memes, nostalgia, wild guesses, everyone’s in on it. And yes, the trio that made us all want to escape to Spain, Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, and Abhay Deol, are in talks to return. No contracts yet, but the conversations are happening.

If you remember the first ZNMD, you know why this matters. Three friends, one epic trip, and a story that hit right in the gut, about friendship, fear, and figuring out who you really are. Now, the sequel is set to pick up years later, with the guys dealing with life in their forties. Friends grow up, dreams change, and sometimes life throws you curveballs you never saw coming. That’s what Zoya wants to explore, she’s not interested in just rolling out the same old story. One insider said, “She was always clear: a sequel only makes sense if there’s something new to say.” No lazy nostalgia here, expect something honest about time passing and how people change.

Hrithik’s already teased his interest. In a 2025 interview, he dropped a hint that got fans speculating all over again. Farhan’s schedule is jam-packed, but he’s never been able to fully shake the character of Imran. Abhay, as Kabir, rounds out the gang. All three seem game, now we wait for the signatures.

Production won’t start for a while. Zoya is busy wrapping up Dahaad 2, and filming for ZNMD 2 probably won’t roll until late 2026. Farhan’s got his own road trip film, Jee Le Zaraa, hanging in the balance too, so basically, the Akhtar siblings are keeping the friendship genre alive in Bollywood, just on their own terms.

Meanwhile, social media is on fire. #ZNMD2 is trending, fans are digging up old clips, and everyone’s got an opinion on where these characters should be now. Nothing’s official yet, no press releases, no posters, no release dates. But this draft? It’s the clearest signal we’ve had that the sequel is really happening. For everyone who’s been searching for ZNMD sequel updates, news on Hrithik’s next move, or just another story from Zoya Akhtar, hang tight. The ride’s about to start all over again.
