There were earlier reports that Rishi Kapoor was offered a role in the movie which he politely turned down. Syra Shehroz was also offered a part in JPNA2 - however, she also refused saying that her role wasn’t “substantial” enough.

I rejected 'Jawani Phir Nahi Aani 2' because my role was not substantial: Syra Shehroz

The first chapter of the movie was adored by Pakistani audiences worldwide while some movie-goers also criticised it for its vulgarity - as did Hamza Ali Abbasi who stated that the movie would’ve done well without an item number too so there wasn’t a need to include it.

The movie is set to release sometime next year and we’re anxious to see what this star-studded cast has in store for us this time around.
