Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday are gearing up for the much-anticipated release of their upcoming film, 'Dream Girl 2.' Directed by Raaj Shandilyaa, this movie serves as the sequel to the 2019 hit 'Dream Girl.' Notably, the initial installment starred Nushrratt Bharuccha, who has now been replaced by the 'Liger' actress in the second chapter. During a recent interview, Ayushmann delved into the topic of Nushratt taking over from Ananya in the sequel.
In an interview with Indian Express, the actor was quizzed on how he reacted when Ananya Panday was cast opposite him. He replied, "This is an organic sequel to Dream Girl. We had to cast a different film, and Ananya fit the bill. I think she is very spunky and adds value to the film. The way she has taken the accent in the film, the Mathura accent, is very commendable. It was fun working with her and I would love to work with her in the future as well."

The actor also described the experience of playing Pooja. "I really wanted to go all out with this character and reach the epitome of femininity and the closest competition was Ananya Panday, so I had to put in a lot of effort in this one. And, I am glad people have liked Dream Girl and I hope they continue to do so in Dream Girl 2 as well," he stated.
