Speaking about the film, Ayushmann Khurrana said, “Dream Girl 2 is like a dream story, and when I heard the narration, I realised that we should make this film. This is a completely organic sequel and the credit goes to our director, Raaj Shaandilya.”

Raaj Shaandilyaa directed Dream Girl 2. After the first installment in 2019, the follow-up is currently scheduled to arrive in theatres on August 25.
