Things couldn’t get any worse for the movie business. Some bravehearts continue to believe that they can change the moviegoers’ tastes to the pre-Covid era.

Raaj Shandilya who directed Ayushmann Khurrana in the hit Dream Girl about a jobless man who signs on to play a female phonesex worker, is back with a sequel that promises to break the arid spell at the Indian boxoffice.

To add a dash of arrogance to ambition, the Dream Girl sequel is scheduled for release for Eid 2023, which is when Salman Khan usually releases his film.

The message to the audience this time, spelt out loud and clear in the teaser : “Iss baar Eid mein Pooja hogi.”

Pooja of course is the name of Ayushmann’s alias as a phonesex worker in Dream Girl. However if we read the above declaration a little closely , it is saying something quite ominous.

Set in Mathura, the sequel will also star Ananya Pandey(reeling under the flop Liger)Annu Kapoor, Paresh Rawail , Asrani, Vijay Raaz, Manjot Singh, Manoj Joshi , Rajpal Yadav Seema Pahwa and Abhishek Bannerjee
