The 2011 film was the love story of an NRI and a feisty girl (Kangana) from Uttar Pradesh, who does not believe in arrange marriages and wants to settle down with her lover Jimmy Shergill but later falls for Madhavan's quiet charms.
Now Rai is working on the sequel. There were rumours of Imran Khan and Anushka Sharma doing the film, but the filmmaker denies it and confirms the presence of the original lead actors in the second instalment.
He also made it clear that there is no scope of a sequel to recent romantic-drama "Ranjhaana" that had Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor in the lead.
"For me the film is over. I don't think I can make a sequel to it now... Whatever we wanted to tell we have told it all," he said.
