Zoya Akhtar addresses Jee Le Zaraa delay: ”We are just waiting for the dates”

However, in recent times, it was reported that Chopra had exited the project as she is going to begin shooting Citadel season 2.

In a conversation with India Today at the trailer launch of Made In Heaven 2, she said, “We are just waiting for the dates.” The filmmaker did not mention if the project will move forward with the same cast or not.

Back in 2021, Akhtar had stated that Jee Le Zaraa, is his attempt to see the world through the gaze of women. He said, “Whether it’s a drama, comedy or thriller, there should be films made about women. That balance is healthy for the creative world. Where you have the male point of view, you also have the female point of view on things. Emotionally, the construct of the two is similar on a certain plane yet different. To see the world through women’s eyes is important in popular culture. The more we embrace it, the healthier it will be for society.”

Written by Zoya Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar, and Reema Kagti; produced by Reema Kagti, Zoya Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani & Farhan Akhtar, the film was supposed to go on floors in 2023.

At the trailer launch on Tuesday, when asked about starring opposite an actor over a decade older than her, Ananya replied, “This is not today’s issue. The age gap has always been there. I don’t think people should think about their age when watching the film. If they’re thinking of the age then it’s a problem. If two people suit a character then it’s okay.”

Dream Girl 2 synopsis reads, “In today’s new world, everyone is struggling day and night to secure his/her future. Our boy Karam is from a small-town Mathura…who is serious in life, but life is not taking him seriously. He has a unique talent of singing and speaking in a female voice. He lives with his father and has borrowed money from nearly everyone on the planet and loves a girl whose father wishes to see her settled well in life. He dons the role of Pooja as the only way out!  This intense love of so many people for Pooja creates wild chaos in Karam’s life! The narrative is laced with a hilarious comedy of errors and the laugh riot picks up from there on, make it even funnier!”

Dream Girl 2 also stars Paresh Rawal, Asrani, Annu Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Manjot Singh, Rajpal Yadav, Manoj Joshi, Seema Pahwa and Vijay Raaz. The film is directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and Produced by Ektaa R Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor.

Dream Girl 2 trailer launch: Ayushmann Khurrana talks about Ranveer Singh-Tota Roy Chowdhury’s CLAPWORTHY ‘Dola Re Dola’ scene in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani: “RARKPK has set the ground. Our film will take it to the next level”

The much-awaited trailer of Dream Girl 2 was released today in a fun-filled event. The event started more than two hours late, raising the tempers of the media persons. However, the team of the film entertained the press with their replies and one-liners, which made the affair worth it. Moreover, the trailer was also quite loved. It shows Ayushmann Khurrana’s character masquerading as a woman, Pooja, after he faces a crisis in life.

The first question asked to Ayushmann Khurrana was his views on the ‘Dola Re Dola’ scene in the recently released film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Directed by Karan Johar, it shows Ranveer Singh and Tota Roy Chowdhury gracefully performing a Kathak dance on the popular Devdas (2002) dance number. With Ayushmann playing a woman, the actor was asked to react to this said sequence, which has been lauded by one and all.

Ayuhsmann Khurrana said, “Since the very start, I have made a satirical statement on toxic masculinity. I am glad Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is doing well. The film has set the ground (with its comment on) toxic masculinity. Our film will take it to the next level, on August 25. It’s good to see people accepting these kind of films which touches upon social causes or certain stereotypes prevalent in society. It’s not just a message-oriented film. It’s meant to be a (fun entertainer). Yahan comedy zyada hai.”

Ayushmann Khurrana continued, “As actors, hamesha inspiration milti hai humein, like Kamal Haasan sir from Chachi 420 (1997) and Govinda ji in Aunty No 1 (1998). Even Kishore da (Kishore Kumar) attempted it. Samay samay par har ek yug mein aise roles karne ke mauke mile hai actors ko. I am glad I got this opportunity. There’s a lot the film says also but it’s all done in a light-hearted fun way.”

Apart from Ayushmann Khurrana, Dream Girl 2, which releases on August 25, also stars Ananya Panday, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Annu Kapoor and Abhishek Banerjee.

Dream Girl 2 trailer launch: Ayushmann Khurrana raises laughs when asked about his family’s reaction to his female avatar: “My dog didn’t recognize me. Usse toh smell karke mere paas aa jaana chahiye tha”

The much-awaited trailer of Dream Girl 2 was released today in a fun-filled event. The film shows Ayushmann Khurrana’s character masquerading as a woman, Pooja, after he faces a crisis in life.

But she didn’t recognize me. That probably happened as I put the girl’s perfume. Main bahut zyada character mein chala gaya tha (smiles). I used to wear the perfume of my manager or make-up artist to get the correct feeling.”

He continued, “My wife and kids once came on the set and they couldn’t believe it was me. I said ‘Meri competition Ananya Panday haiMere saamne hi woh hai. Mujhe utna hi khoobsurat banna hai film ke andar’Meri koshish wohi rahi hai. And my family was very proud of it.” Ananya felt quite touched on hearing this statement.
