Nushrratt Bharuccha is disheartened about missing out on Ayushmann Khurrana's Dream Girl 2 - Exclusive

When the sequel to Ayushmann Khurrana's 2019 hit film Dream Girl was announced, Nushrratt Bharuccha, who played a pivotal role in the original was replaced by Ananya Panday.

We at ETimes recently caught up with Nushrratt, who is currently in the midst of promoting her film Chatrapathi with Sai Srinivas Bellamkonda. When we broached the topic of Dream Girl 2, the actress revealed that she was disheartened when she wasn't included in the sequel.She said, “When you’ve done a film, which has been well received, you do get connected with it. Dream Girl is always going to have a special connection. Also because Ayushmann was genuinely a delight to work with, and he’s someone whom I honestly call my closest friend from the movies business. He was the only person who called to check on me when I had fallen sick and had vertigo.“
Nushrratt further added, “My director Raaj Shaandilyaa, with whom I also did Janhit Mein Jaari, is also very close to my heart. So for me the whole set up and the whole team is special. Of course it was disheartening to not be part of their second journey. But having said that, I wish the best to the film and I’m going to be cheering for them, watching the first day first show and hoping the film does more than 200-300 crores.”

It was recently announced that the release of Dream Girl 2 was being pushed ahead from the original July date because of VFX issues.
