Nushrratt Bharuccha who is currently promoting her upcoming film Chatrapathi finally spoke about not being a part of Dream Girl 2. Previously, the actress played the lead role alongside Ayushmann Khurrana in Dream Girl which was released back in 2019 and performed extremely well at the box office. After the recent announcement of Dream Girl 2 makers confirmed the lead actors of the film, Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday, clearing the rumours of Nushrratt Bharuccha being in it.

In a recent interview, the actress spoke about her reaction to it. She revealed that she considers Ayushmann to be one of her closest friends in the industry and will cheer up for the film but she has no idea why she is not a part of it and of course, it was disheartening especially after the Dream Girl performed so well. Nushrratt said,"When you’ve done a film, which has been well received, you do get connected with it. Dream Girl is always going to have a special connection. Also because Ayushmann was genuinely a delight to work with, and he’s someone whom I honestly call my closest friend from the movies business. He was the only person who called to check on me when I had fallen sick and had vertigo. My director Raaj Shaandilyaa, with whom I also did Janhit Mein Jaari, is also very close to my heart. So for me the whole set up and the whole team is special. Of course it was disheartening to not be part of their second journey. But having said that, I wish the best to the film and I’m going to be cheering for them, watching the first day first show and hoping the film does more than 200-300 crore."

Dream Girl 2 is directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and will release on August 25, 2023.
