Abbas Tyrewala isn't making a Jaane Tu sequel

Filmmaker Abbas Tyrewala has shot down rumours that he is making a sequel to his 2008 hit Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na.

"All those vaguely excited by the idea of a sequel to Jaane Tu..., as suggested in the press today — hey, please let me know if one is happening. I'd love to watch it as well. But I sure ain't making one," Tyrewala posted on Facebook.

"I guess its just a mild attack of cafeteria journalism... whilst practising ventriloquism — I've been quoted giving random answers to questions I was never asked. Actually, I've an idea! Maybe Jai and Aditi [the film's lead characters] could turn psychopathic, a la Natural Born Killers, and start shooting reporters too lazy to actually do things like ‘reporting'," he added.

Jaane Tu..., a light-hearted college romance, was Tyrewala's directorial debut and also the launch pad for Imran Khan. It featured Genelia D'Souza opposite Khan, and their crackling chemistry worked wonders for the movie.

Post Jaane Tu..., in 2010, Tyrewala directed the John Abraham-starrer Jhoota Hi Sahi. It tanked at the box office.
