Ayushmann Khurrana will soon be back on the silver screen with another rib-tickling comedy. The actor took to social media today to announce the release of his film Dream Girl 2. With a quirky video, the actor not only announced his film and the leading star cast of the comic caper but also revealed that the film will release on Eid next year. The film will bring the fresh pairing of Ayushmann with Ananya Panday for the first time in Dream Girl 2.
In 2019, one of the most successful rom-com Dream Girl, was a massive success at the box office and was one of the highest grossing blockbusters of that year. While social media has been abuzz and speculations have been rife about a second instalment, Balaji Motion Pictures finally put all the rumours to rest by announcing the film and its release date. Ektaa R Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana and Raaj Shandilyaa reunite for Dream Girl 2 and this time with Ananya Panday joining the bandwagon. The makers have dropped a teaser giving a sneak-peak into the second part of the Dream Girl Franchise, which is all set for a worldwide release on June 29th, 2023.

Ayushmann will reprise his role as Pooja and the effervescent Ananya will play his lady love. Joining the leading pair will be a pool of talented actors known for their impeccable coming timing, being the likes of Annu Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Vijay Raaz, Manoj Joshi, Rajpal Yadav, Seema Pahwa, Manjot Singh and Abhishek Banerjee. Dream Girl 2 traces the journey of a small-town boy Karam (played by Ayushmann Khurrana) who is trying to live a serious life in Mathura and falls in love with Pari (played by Ananya Panday) but life is hell bent on not taking him seriously. In a turn of events Karam becomes Pooja which creates further chaos in his already chaotic life.
The film directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and produced by Ektaa R Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under the banner of Balaji Motion Pictures will be a whacky, comic caper that will definitely entertain the audiences, leaving them in splits. Producer Ektaa R Kapoor on the announcement of Dream Girl 2 shares, "Ayushmann has always been my ‘Dream Girl’, be it in the orginal or the upcoming sequel. The immense love that we got for Dream Girl got us to turn it into a franchise to bring more to the audiences. Audiences can expect double the fun, double the pun and a doubled dose of comedy in Dream Girl 2.”
