Farhan Akhtar celebrates milestone of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Actor filmmaker Farhan Akhtar turned nostalgic as his cult classic road film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) completed 15 years since its release on July 15, 2011.

Taking to his social media account, Farhan shared a carousel of stills from the film featuring Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin.

The final slide carried the words, “Some roads stay with you forever,” while the caption read, “15 years. Still seizing the day. Celebrating #15YearsOfZindagiNaMilegiDobara.”

Talking about Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, the movie has been directed by Zoya Akhtar and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under the Excel Entertainment banner.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was a massive hit. The road comedy drama starred Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin, with Naseeruddin Shah and Deepti Naval playing pivotal roles.

The film followed three childhood friends, Arjun, Kabir and Imran, who embark on a bachelor road trip across Spain. The film was praised for its heartfelt storytelling, breathtaking visuals, memorable soundtrack by Shankar Ehsaan Loy and Javed Akhtar’s poetry.

The film’s popularity also fuelled excitement around Jee Le Zaraa, announced by Farhan Akhtar in 2021 as a female led road trip film reportedly starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt.
