Though
it
has
been
nearly
16
years
since
its
release,
Dil
Chahta
Hai
is
still
one
of
the
most
loved
coming-of-age
dramas
in
Bollywood,
but
director
Farhan
Akhtar
is
currently
in
no
mood
to
take
the
story
of
the
buddy
trio
forward.
Dil
Chahta
Hai
starred
Aamir
Khan,
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Akshaye
Khanna
in
the
lead
roles
as
three
friends
who
share
a
deep
bond,
but
have
different
approaches
towards
love
and
life.
The
film,
which
was
the
directorial
debut
of
Farhan,
won
a
National
Award
and
attained
a
cult
status,
with
its
characters
of
Akash,
Sameer
and
Sid
resonating
with
the
urban
audience.
Though
two
years
back
there
were
reports
about
a
sequel
being
planned,
Farhan
has
denied
any
such
development
at
the
moment.
"I
have
not
really
considered
taking
the
film
forward.
I
feel
there
was
a
certain
energy,
mood
and
a
time
in
my
life
when
Dil
Chahta
Hai
happened
and
that's
why
I
wrote
it," Farhan
told
PTI
when
asked
if
he
ever
thought
of
making
a
sequel.
"Now
if
I
think
of
(a
sequel),
I
will
be
forcing
the
issue.
It
is
going
to
go
from
'what
I
wanted
to
say'
to
now
'something
more
should
be
added'.
What
was
great
about
it
when
it
happened
was
there
was
no
design."
Farhan-
who
has
directed
three
feature
films
since
Dil
Chahta
Hai-
says
to
take
the
film
forward,
he
would
have
to
come
up
with
a
template,
which
would
go
with
the
organic
feel
of
the
movie.
"The
minute
we
start
thinking
seriously
that
I
have
to
do
a
sequel
to
it,
then
design
comes
into
play.
That
is
something
I
want
to
avoid.
If
ever
suddenly
the
moment
of
eureka
happens
then
may
be,
who
knows.
But
nothing
as
of
now," he
said.
Deepak
Dobriyal,
in
real
life
and
in
Lucknow
Central,
refuses
to
give
up
without
a
good
fight.
The
43-year-old
actor-filmmaker,
however,
says
Don
can
be
taken
ahead
with
a
third
part.
"The
story
of
Don
allows
you
to
take
the
film
forward.
It
is
plot-driven.
But
a
film
like
Dil
Chahta
Hai
is
so
much
about
the
feel,
the
characters,
the
vibe
of
how
people
are."
When
asked,
if
he
has
plans
for
the
third
instalment
of
Don,
Farhan
says,
"I
am
not
ready
with
'Don
3'.
That's
too
far
off."
The
actor
is
currently
awaiting
the
release
of
his
latest
film
Lucknow
Central,
scheduled
to
release
this
Friday.
