It’s been over a decade since Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) hit the big screen and became a cult classic. The 2011 comedy-drama about friendship, self-discovery, and adventure is still fondly remembered by fans. Now, a recent reunion of the film’s lead stars, Farhan Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan, and Abhay Deol, has set the rumor mill spinning about a potential sequel.
On Wednesday, Farhan Akhtar shared a video on Instagram that had fans buzzing with excitement. The video, set to the iconic track Señorita from the film, opens with Abhay Deol flashing a grin at the camera. Hrithik Roshan follows, exclaiming “Unbelievable,” while Farhan Akhtar chimes in with “Outstanding.” The clip ends with a shot of Alexandre Dumas’s classic novel The Three Musketeers placed in front of the trio.
Farhan’s cryptic caption, “Do you see the signs?” tagged the film’s director Zoya Akhtar, co-producer Ritesh Sidhwani, and screenwriter Reema Kagti, hinting that something might be brewing. Ritesh Sidhwani replied enthusiastically in the comments, writing, “Let’s do this my Buoys!” Meanwhile, Zoya Akhtar added fuel to the speculation, responding, “Yes, the universe is speaking to me.” Fans, too, couldn’t contain their excitement. Actor Rohit Saraf commented, “Make it happen, please.”
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara follows the story of three childhood friends—Arjun (Hrithik Roshan), Kabir (Abhay Deol), and Imran (Farhan Akhtar)—who embark on a three-week road trip across Spain. What starts as a bachelor party for Kabir turns into a transformative journey for all three, as they confront their fears, heal old wounds, and rediscover the essence of their friendship.
The film, which also starred Katrina Kaif as Laila and Kalki Koechlin as Natasha, was a massive success, grossing over ₹150 crore worldwide. Its scenic visuals, memorable dialogues, and relatable characters have made it a timeless favorite.

The Possibility of a Sequel
While fans have long hoped for a sequel to the film, this recent reunion and video have reignited the conversation. The presence of The Three Musketeers novel in the clip seems like more than a coincidence, especially given the parallels between the story’s themes of camaraderie and ZNMD’s plot.
The comments from the team behind the film, including Farhan, Zoya, and Ritesh, suggest that something exciting might indeed be in the works. Could it be a sequel where the trio embarks on a new adventure, perhaps revisiting their old dynamics while exploring fresh challenges? While there’s no official confirmation yet, the buzz surrounding this reunion is impossible to ignore.
