Farhan wants sequel to ZNMD

Actor-producer Farhan Akhtar wants to bring a sequel to his hit 2011 hit road trip drama ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ (ZNMD). The Zoya Akhtar-dircted film had an array of star cast including her brother Farhan as one of the protagonists. "I would like 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' to be taken ahead... I think it will be great fun," said Farhan.

The coming-of-age film followed the story of three friends who have been inseparable since childhood. Interestingly, actor Hrithik Roshan, who played an investment banker in ‘ZNMD’, had earlier expressed that there should be a sequel to the film. Akhtar also said he supports actresses, who want to work on a wage system that will bring them on par with their male co-stars.

"I read recently somewhere that there are many female actors, who said they would want to work on a wage system that works even for men and I completely support them. If I want to cast them and they say that to me, then that's what I'll give them. But I can only speak about myself in relation to casting for a film," Farhan said. Commenting on the issue of pay-inequality in Bollywood, Farhan said the actresses have a right to say 'no' if they think they are being underpaid.

"It's a personal choice. I can never force you to work in my film for a certain amount of money. You have to say yes. But if you don't say yes, then you won't work. This is a personal decision and I cannot comment on someone's personal choice to say what they are happy with and what they are not."
