The insider mentioned, “Annu Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee and Manjot Singh, who played a key role in Dream Girl, are on board the sequel too. Much like the first part, their character will be loaded with humour and bring in the laughs through the narrative.”

It added, “Dream Girl is a genuinely liked film and Ayushmann’s biggest grosser till date. The team is well aware of the responsibilities, and have got it all right on the script front. It is being shot at present and isn’t really a sequel that’s made for the sake of it.”

He will also be seen alongside Jaideep Ahlawat in An Action Herowhich is slated to release on December 2, 2022.
