Rakul Preet Singh is once again embodying the spirit of Ayesha as the trailer for De De Pyaar De 2 has dropped, igniting excitement among fans. The romantic comedy sequel revisits the unconventional love story of Aashish (Ajay Devgn) and Ayesha, navigating the complexities of family dynamics and societal expectations.
The trailer showcases Aashish seeking acceptance from Ayesha's family, a shift from the first film where he sought approval from his own estranged relatives. This time, he faces Ayesha's parents, played by R. Madhavan and Gautami Kapoor, who initially appear open-minded about the significant age gap. However, humor and conflict arise when they realize Aashish is nearly the same age as Ayesha's father.
Adding to the complications is Meezaan Jafri's character, seemingly planted by Ayesha's parents to win her over and disrupt her relationship with Aashish. The trailer promises a blend of comedy and emotional moments as Aashish tries to prove that age is just a number when it comes to love.
Fans have expressed their excitement about Rakul Preet Singh's return as Ayesha. Social media is buzzing with reactions celebrating her stunning presence and chemistry with Ajay Devgn. Comments like "Rakul is pure fire in every frame" and "Trailer got a whole lot hotter thanks to Rakul" are trending widely. Many are praising her on-screen magnetism, with some declaring "Rakul in Ayesha avatar is beyond stunning" and "One word for Rakul: IRRESISTIBLE".
In the original De De Pyaar De, Ayesha was portrayed as a bold, brainy, and refreshingly blunt woman who challenged societal norms. Rakul brought a unique mix of sparkle and substance to the role, making Ayesha more than just a love interest.
Rakul herself has expressed her excitement about reprising the role, stating, "It's a double dose of masala and double dose of dhamaka. I am excited to be Ayesha (her character) again". She also mentioned that working with Ajay Devgn, Luv Ranjan, and Anshul Sharma feels like a homecoming, as De De Pyaar De kick-started her journey in Hindi movies.
De De Pyaar De 2 is directed by Anshul Sharma, taking over from Akiv Ali, who directed the first film. Luv Ranjan has once again penned the story, with Bhushan Kumar co-producing the film. Alongside Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh, Jaaved Jaaferi also reprises his role. Ishita Dutta, known for playing Devgn's daughter in the Drishyam franchise, joins the cast. However, Tabu will not be part of the sequel.
The original De De Pyaar De, released in 2019, revolved around the unconventional romance between Aashish, a 50-year-old businessman, and Ayesha, a 26-year-old woman. It dealt with societal judgments and family approval, culminating in a reconciliation between Aashish and his estranged family. De De Pyaar De 2 promises to continue this story with fresh faces and dynamics, focusing on Aashish seeking approval from Ayesha's side of the family. De De Pyaar De 2 is set to release on November 14.
