After Kriti Sanon reunited with her Luka Chuppi co-star Kartik Aaryan for a special appearance in the Pati Patni Aur Woh remake, her role on the lines of Parveen Babi’s Neeta from the 1978 BR Chopra original, the 28-year-old actor is gearing up for another reunion. Mirror has learnt that director Mudassar Aziz has roped in Kartik’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety co-star Sunny Singh for a special appearance in the film.
Confirming the news, Mudassar says, “Sunny’s character is something he has never done before because of it’s setting, in the heartland Uttar Pradesh. We had a great time shooting with him.”
While speaking to Mirror earlier (April 9, 2018) Sunny had said that he has been friends with Kartik for a long time now: “He’s like a brother.” Mudassar adds, “Kartik and Sunny are friends and hence share a sense of humour and comic timing from before. What’s interesting though is that they can barely give a composite shot together because either one of them bursts out laughing.”
Like the original, the remake produced by Bhushan Kumar and Juno Chopra, revolves around the male lead’s character, a family man with a wife (Bhumi Pednekar) and child. Then, Kartik’s Chintu Tyagi is attracted to his glamorous secretary (Ananya Panday) and this leads to a game of hide-and-seek. Mudassar is quick to inform that Sunny is not playing a character from the original. “Our film is different from that one in both its screenplay and characterisation,” the director asserts.
Meanwhile, Sunny is gearing up for his next, Abhishek Pathak’s directorial debut, Ujda Chaman, about a man grappling with premature balding.
