As mentioned earlier, the film features Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey reprising their roles as Rani and Rishu. Joining them is Sunny Kaushal as the new lover, aka Abhimanyu. Whereas, Jimmy Shergill will be seen as Officer Mritunjay, also known as Montu Chacha. The supporting cast includes Aditya Srivastava, Bhumika Dube, Sapana Paritosh Sand, Manoj Kumar Singh, Alok Kumar Pandey, and Manwendra Kumar Tripathy.

Talking about the sequel, Taapsee Pannu shared her excitement, stating, “Reuniting with Rani feels like coming home, and I’m thrilled to dive back into her world again. This time around, audiences will witness a Rani who is fiercer, more passionate, and even more complex.”

Vikrant Massey also expressed his thoughts, saying, “If you thought you knew Rishu, prepare to be surprised. The sequel delves deeper into his psyche, exploring his vulnerabilities and strengths in ways we haven’t seen. The story takes unexpected turns, and I’m confident audiences will be captivated by the wild ride that awaits them.”

Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba is directed by Jayprad Desai. Kanika Dhillon, who wrote and co-produced the film, drew inspiration from classic thrillers. “We’ve gone bolder,” Dhillon revealed. “I have been a Khoon Bhari Maang [1988] fan. I’ve always wanted to write a moment that would be a hat-tip to that film. The shot in the trailer, where a crocodile comes next to their boat, is personal. I loved creating this world of Haseen Dillruba. The audience reminded me last time that they are ready for risqué stories. So, we shouldn’t fear giving them the unconventional,” she added.

All in all, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba promises to be an exhilarating follow-up to Haseen Dillruba.
