Taapsee Pannu Reveals Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba Is Going To Be 'Snappier And Sharper’

Taapsee Pannu is reveling in the success of her recently released film Dunki, where she stars alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Vicky Kaushal. The actress has mesmerised audiences with her compelling portrayal of Manu Randhawa in the movie. Presently, she is gearing up for Director Jayprad Desai’s upcoming film, Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba, a sequel to her 2021 hit Haseen Dillruba. In a recent conversation with a leading media outlet, Taapsee shared insights into the film and offered a glimpse of what audiences can anticipate from it.

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Taapsee Pannu shared, “The next one is ready in the sense that at least it’s shot. It’s getting edited now and it’s going to come out in 2024. I have seen bits and portions of it, and it is a step above the previous one. It’s going to be snappier, sharper, more thrilling, more exciting. The scale-wise, also the stakes look higher for the second one. We all as actors, me and Vikrant are more confident in part two because we know our characters are received well by the audience. So, we are ready to push the envelope, and hopefully, after this, we will continue with the franchise ahead.”

Taapsee also mentioned how proud she is to be the lead in a film franchise, which is not very common in Bollywood. She said, “Very rarely do actresses get to hold an IP (Intellectual property) in terms of a franchise. I feel the only other actress in my head who I know holds a franchise in her name is Rani Mukerji for Mardaani. So, to be someone who can also hold a franchise is such a huge milestone in my head.”

Earlier, screenwriter Kanika Dhillon shared several images from the film’s wrap-up party, hosted by producer Aanand L Rai. The pictures captured moments from the celebration with the film’s cast, including Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey, and Sunny Kaushal. Jimmy Sheirgill, who was also present at the party, is expected to be a part of the film.
