Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey are all set to reprise their roles in the sequel of the 2021 film Haseen Dillruba. Directed by Jayapradha Desai, Phir Ii Haseen Dillruba is set to premiere on Netflix on August 9, 2024. But before the audience can watch and review the romantic thriller, a special screening was organised in Mumbai.
At the star-studded event, Vicky Kaushal arrived to support his brother, actor Sunny Kaushal, who plays Abhimanyu in the film. Soon after watching the film, the Dunki actor took to his Instagram Stories to review Sunny’s performance in Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba.
Praising the Shiddat actor, Vicky wrote, “@sunsunnykhez you have truly surprised me with your ability to play such an intriguing character. Superbly done. I know how excited you were to play this character and I saw how much you enjoyed playing it. So proud! Go ahead and rise higher bhaiya!”

Then came the special screening of Haseen Dillruba which was attended by Taapsee Pannu, Vikrant Massey, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee, Dia Mirza, Jimmy Shergill, Sonam Bajwa, actor couple Sargun Mehta and Ravi Dubey, Sharad Kelkar, Sumona Chakravarti and other celebs. Sunny and Vicky’s parents, father Sham Kaushal and mother Veena Kaushal also attended the event.
Speaking to The Indian Express, Taapsee Pannu revealed that Haseen Dillruba was supposed to release in 2020 instead of 2021, the same year her film Thappad was also supposed to release. But that didn’t happen due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She recalled, “When Haseen Dillruba released in 2021, I had planned two films in the year, but it so happened that I could only do one (in 2020), and then everything came together and it turned out to be a blast!”
Again, two of her films Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba and Khel Khel Mein are releasing back to back this month. Calling it the “second extreme”, Taapsee said she did not want this. But it is a relief as one is releasing on OTT and the other in theatres. For the unversed, Khel Khel also stars Akshay Kumar, Amy Virk, Vaani Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Aditya Seal and Pragya Jaiswal. It is scheduled to hit theatres on August 15, 2024.
