IT'S NOT THAT I AM making Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na sequel: Abbas Tyrewala

I am not making Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na sequel: Abbas TyrewalaFilmmaker Abbas Tyrewala has shot down rumours that he's creating a sequel to his 2008 hit film "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na".

"Umm...all those vaguely excited about the speculation of a sequel to 'Jaane Tu...', as suggested within the press today - hey, please let me know if one is occurring. I'd like to watch it to boot. But I sure ain't making one," Tyrewala posted on his Facebook page.

"I guess its only a mild attack of cafeteria journalism... whilst practicing ventriloquism (I HAVE BEEN quoted giving random answers to questions I USED TO BE never asked. Actually, I've an idea!

Maybe Jai and Aditi (film's characters) could turn psychopathic, a la Natural Born Killers, and begin shooting reporters too lazy to truly do such things as 'reporting'," he added.

"Jaane Tu...", a light-hearted college romance, was Tyrewala's directorial debut and likewise the launch pad for Imran Khan. It featured Genelia D'Souza opposite Imran, and their crackling chemistry worked wonders for the movie.

Post "Jaane Tu...", in 2010, Tyrewala directed John Abraham-starrer "Jhoota Hi Sahi". It tanked on the box office.
