Rakul joins Ajay Devgn, R Madhavan in ‘De De Pyaar De 2'
Rakul Preet Singh is all set to reprise her beloved role as Aisha in De De Pyaar De 2, the much-awaited sequel to the 2019 romantic comedy hit. Starring alongside Ajay Devgn, who returns as the middle-aged man caught between love and family drama, the sequel introduces R. Madhavan in a key role, sparking curiosity about a fresh twist in the love triangle.
While the original film, directed by Akiv Ali, won over audiences with its mix of humor, emotion, and an unconventional romance, the sequel will be helmed by Anshul Sharma. The film is backed by T-Series and Luv Films, and is scheduled to hit theatres on 19 September 2025.
Fans are eager to see how Madhavan's entry will stir things up in the narrative, possibly challenging the equation between Aisha and Ashish (Ajay Devgn). Rakul's character had won hearts in the first part for her charm and spontaneity, and expectations are high for her performance once again.
Off-screen, Rakul recently turned heads with her bold fashion statement — a denim-on-denim look paired with high boots — adding to the buzz surrounding her upcoming projects. With recent setbacks like Mere Husband Ki Biwi and Indian 2, De De Pyaar De 2 is being seen as a potential comeback for the actress.
Fans are hopeful this sequel will recreate the magic of the original and give Rakul the box office success she richly deserves.

Thug Life box office collection day 1 early estimate: Kamal Haasan film unlikely to surpass Indian 2's first day numbers
Thug Life box office collection day 1 early estimate: Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's latest collaboration Thug Life finally hit theatres on Thursday. Even after opening to poor reviews from critics and the audience, the film is off to a decent start at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Thug Life has collected Rs. 13.25 crore in India, as of 9 pm on Thursday. Due to the negative response, the action-drama is unlikely to even surpass opening numbers (Rs 26 crore) of Haasan's Indian 2, which was a disaster at the box office. According to Sacnilk, Thug Life recorded an overall Tamil-language occupancy of 48.72% on Thursday. Morning shows saw 50.66% occupancy, afternoon shows registered 50.35%, and evening shows dipped to 45.15%. Pondicherry reported the highest occupancy so far at 69.33%. The Mani Ratnam film is unlikely to rank in the biggest Tamil openers list of this year. Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly is the biggest Tamil opener of 2025 with Rs. 28.15 crore. The second spot belongs to Vidaamuyarchi at Rs. 25.5 crore, followed by Suriya's Retro at Rs. 17.25 crore. ALSO READ | Thug Life Review: Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam's 'game of thrones' is a cinematic endurance test Besides the poor reviews, Thug Life may also have been affected by the ban in Karnataka. The controversy around its ban originated after a statement made by Kamal Haasan during a promotional event. While addressing the audience, he had said, 'Your language (Kannada) was born out of Tamil.' The actor's remark offended many Kannadigas and led to strong reactions from several pro-Kannada groups. Haasan refused to apologise for his statement, which sparked a huge row, leading to the ban of the movie. An excerpt from SCREEN's Thug Life review read, 'Mani Ratnam has delivered what is arguably his weakest film to date, the Kamal Haasan-starrer Thug Life. Worse still, the only way one could even identify it as a Mani Ratnam film is the grandiosity of its visuals and the occasional brilliance of its long shots. If not for these, Thug Life would have felt like an unending gangster drama, crafted by an overambitious filmmaker (anyone, really) whose only asset was ambition and nothing more.' Directed by Mani Ratnam and produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies, Thug Life also features Trisha Krishnan, T.R. Silambarasan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, and Mahesh Manjrekar in pivotal roles.

The actress carried it with a lot of confidence and indeed looked amazing in it. But, as usual, trolls had to say something. In the comment section of Voompla's post, some people wrote that she should have worn something more elegant. However, others backed Neena and said that it's her own decision. One wrote, 'Dressing acchi nhi h umar k hisab se' Another added, 'She is a great actor but her sensibility is zero!.' A third while defending the actress wrote, 'Just loved the way she looks. It takes a lot of guts to come out wearing something like this at this age.'
