Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu is happy with the response her latest film Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba is getting and said she is already looking forward to what all can be done in the next part. Taapsee said, “Doing a sequel is always tricky because the first one comes with no expectations and if people like it, it becomes a hit. But with sequels come expectations, which are always tricky to meet.” The actress said she is glad people have loved her character of Rani and the film more than the first one. “I knew how much people loved Rani from part one, so I kept those expectations in mind when I approached the next part,” she said.
Looking forward, the actress said, “This response has been so validating that I’m already looking forward to what all we can possibly do in the next part.”
The first part, which was titled Haseen Dillruba, is a romantic thriller directed by Vinil Mathew and written by Kanika Dhillon. It stars Taapsee, Vikrant Massey and Harshvardhan Rane.
Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba has been directed by Jayprad Desai. Taapsee and Vikrant reprise their characters, and Sunny Kaushal joins the cast.
The film opens in Agra, where Rani is living as a small-time makeup artist, while Rishabh is hiding in disguise, trying his best to get the arrangements made for the couple to move abroad and start afresh. With the Uttar Pradesh police somehow still hung up on the case, the two toxic lovebirds cannot be seen together. They now exchange coy glances like forbidden high school lovers across the street, talk on hours-long phone calls, and meet in secret.
And oh, like always, they speak fluent Dinesh Pandit – the crime novelist whose works gave them the perfect exit plan last time. You’ll see the crazy couple painting quotes from his books on walls or even garbage vans to send messages to each other. Okay, admittedly, however painful the rest of the film might be, this laureate exchange is quite impressive. It might not have an ounce of practicality, but the almost Sherlocky idea is in alignment with the kind of madness that had taken over our protagonists towards the end of the first film.
