If you were thinking that the director Priyadarshan has disappeared completely, you'd be wrong because he is back with Hungama 2. The trailer has already been released and people are appreciating the humour in it. Hungama 2 is a successor to the director’s 2003 hit Hungama. It’s surely nothing like the original, but it still has a lot of drama that might tickle your funny bone. The film will mark Priyadarshan’s return to Bollywood after an eight-year-long hiatus. 

In a recent interview with Quint, he spoke about actors such as Ayushmann Khurrana and Kartik Aaryan not wanting to work with him on this movie and rejecting it. He doesn’t blame them but it doesn’t happen with him in the south film industry where actors are familiar with his work.

He said, “I don't face it in the south, because they know more about me. But here, I don't blame them for refusing, because if an actor doesn't feel confident about a director, they shouldn't do the film. Because then there will not be a comfortable interaction. Maybe these boys are more comfortable working with the new school; I belong to the old school."

In an earlier interview with PTI, Priyadarshan had spoken about offering Hungama 2 to Kartik Aaryan, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Sidharth Malhotra. “I didn’t go directly to meet them but my concept was narrated to a lot of actors like Ayushmann Khurrana, Kartik Aaryan, and Sidharth Malhotra. They all refused to do the film. Now, I am working with Meezaan. They all refused because maybe they thought I am an outdated director because I was out of the Hindi film industry for five years,” Priyadarshan said.

Hungama 2, starring Meezaan, Shilpa Shetty, Paresh Rawal, and Pranita Subhash, will arrive on Disney+ Hotstar later this month.
