'Jab We Met' sequel planned for TV

Imtiaz Ali has revealed that a sequel to his commercially successful hit Jab We Met will debut on television.

The follow-up, which will focus on the prequel to the romantic drama, will appear under the title Love You Zindagi for STAR Plus.

The filmmaker said: "TV is a different medium. Films involve a different way of telling a story. The style is very singular and it has a fixed duration.

"So when you have to do that, you find that a lot of material gets thrown up which cannot find a way into the duration of a film. And, if there is an interest in that material and an opportunity to see it in a serial, why not use it?"

Ali, who originally started out in television, said that it was not always the best medium for his work, adding: "Earlier when I was directing TV serials, we were trying to make films on TV, and it wasn't working for me at least."

'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' sequel planned

Amitabh Bachchan has said that Karan Johar wants to make a follow-up to Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

The 68-year-old revealed on his Big Adda blog that Johar is keen to direct a sequel to the 2001 family drama, Indian Express reports.

Bachchan posted: "Karan Johar and we talk of cinema and other lighter moments. His visit to Goa and the sudden impulse to do a sequel to Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, for he felt that all the relevant characters were still around and 'how'."

The Dharma Productions film also features leading Bollywood stars including Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan as brothers, alongside Kajol and Kareena Kapoor.

The veteran actor detailed how the plot to the film has developed, nine years since the original.

"It would be a story on the growth of the brothers and the problems that arise because of their independent understanding and working of the business empire of the father, a split within them and so on," said Bachchan.

The script of the third instalment of the hit vampire series "Twilight" has reportedly been leaked on the Internet, sending fans into a frenzy. More than 100 pages of what appears to be the storyline from "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" surfaced online Jan 5, reports contactmusic.com.
