Zoya Akhtar Shares Project Updates, Says She’ll Announce Any ‘ZNMD’ Sequel

Speaking at a screenwriting masterclass, she said she writes from conviction rather than chasing trends.

Overview

  • She disclosed that she is writing two screenplays for herself as part of her current slate.
  • Dahaad Season 2 is in production, with Reema Kagti directing the shoot.
  • Addressing talk of a Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara sequel, she gave no confirmation and said any update would come from her.
  • She described audience tastes as cyclical and suggested love stories could be due for a return, a view trade reports tie to recent romance titles and an upcoming Imtiaz Ali film starring Diljit Dosanjh.
  • Reflecting on process, she said Luck By Chance began as a 200–300 page draft that she later streamlined with Kagti’s help.
