The short answer, for now, is no. During a Valentine’s Day Instagram Live on the ARKS account, Ranbir Kapoor addressed the sequel chatter around Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and said the film had a “perfect end.” That line instantly cooled the YJHD 2 buzz, at least officially.
Fans were hoping Bunny and Naina would return after the film’s nostalgia wave, the re-release momentum, and renewed social media love for its soundtrack and iconic lines. A successful re-release run and viral reels had kept sequel demand unusually strong.
What Ranbir Kapoor Said And Why The Buzz Won’t Die
Ranbir reportedly told fans there are “so many new movies, new directors, and new ideas,” and that YJHD does not need a direct continuation. He added one interesting tease: he may still do another film in a similar emotional zone, which keeps rom-com loyalists interested. The timing matters too.
Recent chatter around a possible Ranbir-Deepika rom-com reunion had already reignited sequel hopes, and comments from Deepika about discussing a rom-com together added fuel. So his statement landed like a final word for now. Reports also tie this sequel question to his broader project updates, including timelines around Love & War, Brahmastra 2, and Animal Park.

NDTV Movies also shared this sequel update on its official X handle, amplifying the same “no part 2” takeaway from Ranbir’s live interaction.
So, Is A Sequel Happening?
As of now, there is no official green signal for a Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani sequel. A similar-genre film may happen later, but Bunny-Naina Part 2 is not on the table right now. That keeps nostalgia alive, but expectations should stay grounded for this year.
