2025 film directed by Anshul Sharma
De De Pyaar De 2 (transl. Give me love 2) is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Anshul Sharma, written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain and produced by T-Series Films and Luv Films. It is a sequel to De De Pyaar De (2019).[2] The film stars Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan and Rakul Preet Singh as the lead pair.[3][4]
The film was announced in March 2024. Principal photography commenced in June 2024, held in Punjab and London. It is scheduled to release on 14 November 2025.[5][6][7]
Following the events of De De Pyaar De, 52-year-old London-based NRI investor Ashish Mehra decides to meet his much younger 26-year-old girlfriend Ayesha Khurana’s family to get their approval, after having previously received his own family’s approval. However, when he meets her family, what follows is a case of hilarious one-upmanship between her father Rajji and Ashish, who is even older than Rajji, creating awkward situations among the two families. As Ayesha introduces Aashish to her parents as a slightly older person who is also divorced. Ashish starts feeling awkward and asks Ayesha to reveal to her parents that he and her father are almost the same age, to which Ayesha flatly refuses. Instead, Ayesha asks Ashish to win over her parents just as a young man would do. Initially Ayesha’s parent try to be progressive and accept their relationship, even their significant age gap. However, tensions arise when they realise that Aashish is almost as old as Rajji. Then the parents decide to do a coup de ta by introducing Meezaan Jafri’s character, between them; whose sole aim is to anyhow win over Ayesha and end her relationship with Aashish.
Development and casting
[edit]
The film’s script was finalized in August 2023, while the official announcement was made in March 2024. The film is directed by Anshul Sharma replacing Akiv Ali, with Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh returning as Ashish Mehra and Ayesha Khurana and R. Madhavan.[4] Anil Kapoor was initially signed to play Ayesha’s father and Ram’s father in law,[8] but later opted out and was replaced by R. Madhavan.[9]
Principal photography commenced in June 2024 at Mehboob Studio, Mumbai, Maharashtra, with next schedules set to happen in Punjab and London.[10][11] The 1st Punjab schedule of the film was completed in September–October 2024.[12] The 2nd Punjab schedule of the film was started in January and completed in February 2025.[13] The reason for 2 schedules in Punjab is that during 1st schedule in Patiala the director Anshul Sharma was down with dengue fever, due to which the earlier planned long schedule was cut short.[14][15]
De De Pyaar De 2 was scheduled to be released dated on long weekend coinciding with the International Labour Day and Maharashtra Day, but was postponed because of Raid 2 release, and is now slated to release on 14 November 2025.[16] The trailer was launched on 14 October 2025 at an event organized in Devgn Cinex in Gurgaon.[17][18]
