Farhan Akhtar has clarified that the story of his sister's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara has no similarity to his directorial debut Dil Chahta Hai, while Zoya Akhtar says it'll be a compliment for her movie if it reminds people of her brother's film.
"Dil Chahata Hai was quite a long ago. Here you see three boys riding in a car. That might have drawn the comparison. That's really where the comparison ends. This story is way ahead and has much more to offer. It's also much more mature in the writing than Dil Chahta Hai," Akhtar said.
Apart from Akhtar, the films stars Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif Abhay Deol and Kalki Koelchin.
"I loved Dil Chahta Hai. I have worked in it. If this film reminds people of Dil Chahta Hai and would go to watch it, it would be a compliment," said Zoya.
When asked why the release had been postponed from May to July, Akhtar said: "We are very, very happy with the film. We showed it to a couple of people to get feedback from them. You cannot just rush to release your film when you are not 100 per cent sure."
