(MENAFN-IANS) Mumbai, August 25 (IANS) – As “Dream Girl 2” completed a year in Hindi theatres, actor Ayushmann Khurrana said the film holds a special place in his heart for the joy it has brought to people.

Ayushmann said, “The love and appreciation that Dream Girl 2 continues to receive is truly a joy! The film will always have a special place in my heart, not just for its success but also for the joy it has spread among people.

“As an actor, if you can evoke a sense of joy in your audience and put a smile on their faces, I think half the job is done and that’s exactly what ‘Dream Girl 2’ did,” he added.

He also posted a hilarious video on Instagram where he is seen receiving a surprise box containing his character Pooja’s stuff from the film. He then gets a call from another Pooja, which shocks the actor for a moment. He then feels a sense of relief when the caller asks him if he wants a credit card.

He captioned the video, “Naam chahe jitne bhi ho, asli Pooja toh sirf ek hi hai #1YearOfDreamGirl2.”

Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Dream Girl 2 also stars Ananya Panday, Paresh Rawal, Annu Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, Asrani, Abhishek Banerjee, Manjot Singh and Seema Pahwa. In the film, Ayushmann disguises himself as a woman, which leads to a lot of chaos and confusion.

The comedy film is a spiritual sequel to the 2019 film “Dream Girl,” which starred Ayushmann and actress Nushrratt Bharuccha. It centers on a gender-diverse actor played by Ayushmann, whose female voice imitation attracts the attention of others. In his phone conversations, he talks about depression and loneliness.
