Oh wow! I watched the first movie so many times during college days. Emily Blunt was hilarious as Emily Charlton. But I hope they don't ruin the magic with a forced sequel. Bollywood should learn from Hollywood - not every hit needs a part 2! 😅

As someone working in corporate Mumbai, Miranda Priestley still gives me nightmares! Meryl Streep better return or there's no point. The fashion world has changed so much since 2006 - curious how they'll update the story for today's Instagram era.

Yaar, I'm excited but nervous! The first film was perfect. Emily Blunt saying she hasn't even read the script yet is worrying. Hollywood sequels often disappoint - remember Sex and the City 2? Hope they don't make it too woke and lose the original charm.

Interesting how this news comes right when Indian fashion industry is booming. Maybe they should shoot some scenes in India - our designers like Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra could give Miranda Priestley a run for her money! 🇮🇳

The first movie taught me so much about workplace politics. As a woman in Delhi corporate world, I still quote "That's all" in Miranda's tone to my juniors sometimes 😂 Hope the sequel keeps that sharp workplace humor intact.

Not sure how I feel about this. The original was lightning in a bottle - perfect cast, perfect timing. 2026 is too late. They should have done it 10 years ago. But I'll still watch it first day for Emily Blunt's sarcastic one-liners!
