Taapsee Pannu Discusses Role in Haseen Dillruba Sequel

Taapsee Pannu is set to reprise her role as Rani in the sequel to Haseen Dillruba, titled Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillbura, premiering on August 9, 2024. In interviews, she expressed her belief that love should be calm and tranquil, contrary to the chaotic portrayals often depicted in films, stating, "Pyaar matlab pagalpan nahi hota" (Love does not mean madness). Pannu acknowledges that while obsessive love may exist, it is not reflective of her personal views on relationships, emphasizing her desire for a peaceful home life after marrying badminton player Mathias Boe earlier this year. She defended her character, claiming Rani is not toxic or an 'alpha' but rather flawed yet accountable for her actions. The film's trailer suggests a deeper exploration of love and relationships, featuring Rani navigating her feelings for both her husband Rishu and a new character, Abhimanyu. This sequel aims to engage audiences with themes of love, betrayal, and past consequences.
