Directed by Raj Mehta, “Jugjugg Jeeyo” follows Kuku (Dhawan) and Naina (Advani), on the cusp of divorce who pretend to be happily married till his younger sister Ginny’s wedding festivities are completed. Little does Kuku know, his father Bheem, played by Anil Kapoor, is cheating on his mother Geeta (Neetu Kapoor) and planning to divorce her.
“Jugjugg Jeeyo” also featured actors Maniesh Paul and Prajakta Koli. The movie raised over Rs 100 crore at the global box office during its run in theatres.
At its producer KJo’s home recently, the actors of the movie toasted its triumph, and guess what? A movie sequel has been teased by Kiara Advani! While we like the photographs Kiara posted from the quiet celebration meal, it was her message that really caught our eye. Kiara penned: “We appreciate all of the kind feedback about Jugjugg Jeeyo. Is a follow-up to Raj Mehta’s film in the works?” Raj Mehta, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, the CEO of Dharma Productions, Farah Khan, the choreographer, and the actors Anil, Neetu, Kiara, Varun, Prajakta, and Maniesh were all in attendance.
