Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey are set to reprise their roles in the sequel to the 2021 film Haseen Dillruba. Directed by Jayprad Desai, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba will premiere on August 9, 2024, on Netflix. Before the romantic thriller is seen by audiences, a special screening was held in Mumbai.
During the star-studded event, Vicky Kaushal arrived to support his brother, actor Sunny Kaushal, who plays Abhimanyu in the film. After watching the movie, Vicky praised Sunny’s performance in Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba on his Instagram stories.
Lauding the Shiddat actor, Vicky wrote, “@sunsunnykhez You have truly surprised me with your ability to pull off such a twisted character. So tastefully done. I know how excited you were to take up this part and could see you have fun playing it through and through. So proud! Onwards and upwards brother!”

Taapsee Pannu shared with The Indian Express that Haseen Dillruba was supposed to release in 2020 alongside her film Thappad, but the COVID-19 pandemic led to delays. She mentioned, “When Haseen Dillruba released in 2021, I had planned two films a year, but it so happened that I could only have one (in 2020), and then everything got piled on and it started coming out as a burst!”
Once again, two of her movies Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba and Khel Khel Mein are releasing back-to-back this month. Taapsee expressed her relief at the different release platforms for each film, with one releasing on OTT and the other in cinemas. Khel Khel Mein also stars Akshay Kumar, Ammy Virk, Vaani Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Aditya Seal, and Pragya Jaiswal, and is set to hit theatres on August 15, 2024.
