When asked about the possibility, Ayushmann said, “I don’t know, you will have to ask Raaj Shaandilyaa (director of Dream Girl and Dream Girl 2). If he comes up with an equally outrageous idea like Dream Girl and Dream Girl 2, we should definitely go for it. And if it has crazy laugh out moments and great gags, then why not? It is a front bencher massy film and once in a while you will see me in that avatar along with my core genre.”
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, ‘Dream Girl 2’ has grossed Rs Rs 88.91 crore since its release. The film is a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster ‘Dream Girl’ and featured a star-studded cast, Ananya Panday, Paresh Rawal, Manjot Singh, Seema Pahwa, Annu Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Abhishek Banerjee, Asrani, Vijay Raaz, and Manoj Joshi in pivotal roles.
