New Delhi: The excitement surrounding Taapsee Pannu’s return as Rani in the much-anticipated sequel, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, is palpable. Following the success of the first installment, Haseen Dillruba, which premiered on Netflix in July 2021, the sequel promises to delve deeper into the complex and thrilling world of its characters. Taapsee Pannu, who has garnered acclaim for her role in the original film, is set to bring an even darker and edgier dimension to her character.
In a recent interaction with the media, Taapsee Pannu spoke candidly about the challenges and expectations associated with reprising her role. “The most difficult aspect was to fulfill the expectations of the audience. Apart from that, performance-wise, it was not that challenging, as after doing the first part, I knew what the audience liked about the character and what not,” Taapsee explained. She further shared, “So, this time I got a chance for the correction. I approached Part Two (‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba’) with more confidence than I did with Part One (‘Haseen Dillruba’). I hope the audience feels the same way. This time the character is darker, edgier, and the stakes are high.”
The original film, Haseen Dillruba, received positive reviews for its gripping storyline and intense performances. It featured Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey, and Harshvardhan Rane in pivotal roles. With the sequel, the stakes are raised as the narrative promises to explore more complex and darker themes, taking the intrigue and suspense to new heights.
Vikrant Massey, who portrayed Rishu in the first film, also shed light on what audiences can expect from his character in the sequel. He humorously mentioned, “The audience can expect me to handle, ek haath hai mera,” adding, “I won’t open up much about my character as I want the audience to experience it. But as Taapsee said it is more edgier, crazy, darker, and entertaining.”
Joining the stellar cast this time are Sunny Kaushal and Jimmy Shergill, who play prominent roles in the film. Sunny Kaushal, who brings a fresh dynamic to the sequel, shared his excitement about being part of the project. He joked, “Rani ka aashiq banne ko mil raha tha,” and continued, “You just watch the film and you will know why I did it.” Sunny expressed that he never imagined playing such a character, highlighting his enthusiasm for the role.
The stars of Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba recently visited the Capital for a special screening of the film. Their visit was marked by lively interactions with fans, who took the opportunity to snap selfies with their favorite stars and enjoy the movie together.
