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.
