Ayushmann Khurrana: People are liking how I'm playing Pooja in the film

Ayushmann Khurrana, who is all set to reprise his role of Pooja in Dream Girl 2, agrees that it was a huge risk to play someone who dresses up as a girl and causes confusion.

Talking about the same Khurrana shared, "Dream Girl (2019) was a blockbuster. So, the sequel had to match the expectations of the first film. I'm thrilled that people are finding Dream Girl 2's trailer to be a laugh riot."

"I'm happy that it is making people feel that they will be supremely entertained when they see the film on the big screen,” he said.

"Dream Girl 2 is a film for everyone to enjoy, in fact laugh and fall off your seats. We promise that people are going to have an experience that is unique. I'm relieved that people are liking how I'm playing Pooja in the film! It was a huge risk to play someone who dresses up as a girl and cause all the confusion," he added.

He is also happy to see that his character Pooja has been appreciated by the audience, "I'm really happy that people are loving this avatar of mine. It is hugely rewarding. Making someone laugh is the toughest job, but I am sure this film will leave the audience in splits."

Dream Girl 2 is directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa which is a sequel Dream Girl which had Nushrratt Bharuccha alongside Khurrana. The sequel will see Annu Kapoor, Vijay Raaz, Abhishek Banerjee and Manjot Singh reprise the roles while Ananya Panday, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani and Seema Pahwa will be the new additions to the franchise.

Dream Girl 2 tells the story of Karam, a small-town boy from Mathura, who is struggling every day to pay his father's debt, who has borrowed money from nearly everyone on the planet. On the other hand, he is deeply in love with Pari, whose father has kept the conditions to marry her. To make ends meet, Karam dons Pooja, which creates wild chaos and a comedy of errors. The film is produced by Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor and presented by Balaji Telefilms. The film releases in theatres on August 25.
