De De Pyaar De 2 trailer: R Madhavan is the new obstacle in Ajay Devgn-Rakul Preet Singh’s love story

In the trailer, Ajay’s character Aashish meets Ayesha’s parents, played by R Madhavan and Gautami Kapoor, and while they want to be progressive about the age-gap, all of it goes out the window as soon as they realise that Aashish is almost as old as Ayesha’s father. The trailer then introduces Meezaan Jafri’s character, who has been planted by Ayesha’s parents to woo her, so she can get out of her relationship with Aashish.

The first part revolved around Aashish seeking his estranged family’s approval for Ayesha, given their wide age gap. By the end of the film, his estranged wife Manju (Tabu) convinces not only their family, including their two kids, but also Ayesha herself to give Aashish another chance at love. The sequel will now see Aashish seek the blessings of Ayesha’s family.

While De De Pyaar De was helmed by Akiv Ali, the sequel is directed by Anshul Sharma. The story for both parts has been penned by Luv Ranjan, best known for hit romantic comedies like Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011) and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018). He’s also co-produced the film under his and Ankur Garg’s Luv Films, along with Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series.

While Ajay Devan and Rakul Preet Singh reprise their parts for De De Pyaar De 2, Tabu won’t be a part of the sequel. Jaaved Jaaferi, who played Aashish’s best friend and soundboard in De De Pyaar De, will also reprise his role. Other additions to the cast include Ishita Dutta, who famously plays Devgn’s daughter in the popular Drishyam franchise.
