Blinkit tamatar taiyaar rakh: Zomato reacts as Farhan Akhtar’s cryptic post sparks ZNMD 2 speculation

A video on social media posted by Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar on Wednesday featuring actors Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol has fuelled speculation surrounding the sequel of the popular Hindi film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

The video sparked a social media frenzy, with streaming giant Netflix, Google India, and food and grocery delivery major Zomato, among others, posting comments. Adding a playful touch to the conversation, Zomato commented “@letsblinkit tamatar taiyaar rakh.”

The comment is believed to be a reference to a scene from the film featuring the tomato festival, which is based on the real-life La Tomatina festival in Bunol, Spain.

Akhtar posted a video featuring all three ZNMD actors, set to the background music of the song "Senorita." He tagged ZNMD film director Zoya Akhtar in the caption, writing, “Do you see the signs??”

Zoya Akhtar reacted to the post, saying, “Yes the universe is speaking to me.”

The post caught the attention of prominent Instagram accounts, including those of Google-owned YouTube, Netflix and online streaming platform Prime Video.

“Kya tum signs dekh rahe ho my bwoy,” Netflix India responded.

“Agar teeno bwois collab kar rahe ho toh ZNMD sequel ke liye taiyyar ho tum,” commented Google India.
