A lot of speculations have been going on around the sequel of Karan Johar’s Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Reports suggested that the filmmaker is working on a grand scale family entertainer, something along the lines of his iconic film. He has now finally addressed the rumours and revealed where there will be a K3G 2.
Speaking candidly about his future plans, Johar clarified that there is no sequel or spin-off to the beloved film in the works. He also dismissed any developments around a derivative of his ambitious project Takht.
Talking about his plans on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, Season 3, Karan Johar said, “I am glad that I have this platform and I am glad I am chatting with you to say that there is no Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham 2 and no derivative of Takht being made. I would never make a K3G 2.”
Explaining his decision, the director emphasised the emotional legacy attached to Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which was released in 2001 and went on to become a cultural phenomenon across generations. He continued, “What K3G has in abundance is nostalgia. There are generations that have grown up watching the film, for what they loved, what they didn’t, what they cried about. I am very grateful to the universe that I got to make a film that still lives on.”
Karan Johar further noted that revisiting such an iconic project could risk diluting its legacy. “I would never mess with that nostalgia and the love, it has.”
Over the years, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham has remained one of Bollywood’s most celebrated films, known for its ensemble cast, memorable music, and emotional storytelling. It starred Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Jibraan Khan and Farida Jalal among others.
Johar’s latest remarks reaffirm his intent to preserve the film’s legacy rather than revisit it with a sequel.
