Zoya Akhtar’s popular film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara turned 13 on July 15, and that sent its cast — Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol — down memory lane.
They also asked Zoya to start writing the sequel!

Katrina played a scuba diving instructor in the film.
Did you know that Hritik is a certified scuba diver unlike his character in the film and reportedly was the only actor who didn’t require a body double for the underwater scenes?

Katrina’s introduction scene was shot on a nude beach, and the production crew had to continually request people to move out of the frame.

‘Zindagi Na the Milegi the Dobara turns 13 .. definitely as lucky as a flower for all of us who got to make this together .. miss this crew .. miss my bwoys,’ Farhan writes.
While his character Imran has a deep fear of skydiving, in real life, Farhan is a certified skydiver.

Hrithik had said that it was his then wife Sussane who convinced him to do this film. That’s why her name appears in the film’s acknowledgements.

Farhan’s hook-up in the film, Ariadna Cabrol, is known for Spanish television movies like La stella dei re, Estocolm and Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer.

In an interview to The Times Of India, Zoya had once said, ‘The end credit song was a last-minute addition, as the film’s original end (of) three boys running in front of bulls and towards the camera didn’t land well with Co-Producer Ritesh Sidhwani and the test screening audience.’
Viewers wanted to know if any of the characters had died, and Ritesh insisted on having a closure.
So she added a song for the end credits to clarify that the characters were not dead.
