Imran Khan shares his thoughts on Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’s sequel
In an interview with India Today, Imran Khan shared his opinion on whether he wishes to watch the sequel to Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na happen in the future. The Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola actor expressed that the 2008 film doesn’t require a sequel as it is not a “plot-driven” movie.
“In Jaane Tu, it's a kind of film where characters' emotional journeys is the culmination of the plot and because of that, to have a sequel you have to then reopen their emotionality which may or may not work. Sequels generally are for plot-driven films, not character-driven films (sic),” Imran told the portal.

Referring to the Spiderman movies, Imran added, “Like in action franchise, Spiderman has to swap the bad guy at the end of the film. One bad guy, another bad guy…So because it's plot-driven, you can always make another (sic).”
“The one where your entire journey is a character journey and the journey of these characters finding love, finding who they are, and finally ending up here (together). The only way to readdress it, i.e. to poke that, open it up, and make it. I don't know if that works (sic),” the actor further said about Jaane Tu’s sequel.
