In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Taapsee Pannu revealed that the sequel to her 2021 film Haseen Dillruba, titled Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, has been shot and is expected to surpass the first installment. She expressed, “The next one is ready in the sense that at least it’s shot. It’s getting edited now; gonna come out in 2024. I have seen bits and portions of it, and it is definitely a step above the previous one. It’s going to be snappier, sharper, more thrilling, more exciting. The scale-wise, also the stakes look higher for the second one. We are all as actors, me and Vikrant, are more confident in part two because we know our characters are received well by the audience. So we are ready to push the envelope, and hopefully, after this, we will continue with the franchise ahead.”
The actress also expressed her pride in leading a film franchise, which is quite rare in Bollywood. She remarked, “Very rarely do actresses get to hold an IP (Intellectual property) in terms of a franchise. I feel the only other actress in my head who I know holds a franchise on her name is Rani Mukerji for Mardaani. She is such a fabulous star actress, so to be someone who can also hold a franchise is such a huge milestone in my head. I believe I want to keep it close to me and keep pushing the boundaries with that.”
