While speaking with his fans recently, the Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar star said, “I think Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani would make a good sequel... Ayan also had a very nice story, I remember, but then he went into this Brahmastra [Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva] journey. But, never say never. He might make it after a couple of years. I think the story will be 10 years forward where Bunny, Naina, Avi and Aditi, where they are in their lives. I think it’ll be quite interesting and nice to explore those characters.”

This is not the first time that Ranbir - who is currently busy with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming gangster drama film Animal with Rashmika Mandanna - has expressed his desire for a sequel to Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. In 2018, the actor told Bollywood Hungama, “Ayan is on the journey to make Brahmastra, which is very time-consuming. But we have often spoken about Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani 2. He also has an idea for it and he seldom says we should have just done that it would be an easier film. More easy than Brahmastra, because he is going quite crazy, making this film. You never know. Maybe between Brahmastra Part 1 and 2, we get a window of six months.”
