Suneel Darshan to Introduce Natasha Fernandez, Aayush Kumar, and Akaisha in Andaaz 2
Get ready for another dose of love triangle drama! Director Suneel Darshan, who launched the careers of Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra with the original Andaaz in 2003, is back with a sequel. Andaaz 2 promises fresh faces and familiar themes, aiming to replicate the success of its predecessor.
Meet the Newcomers:
Natasha Fernandez, Aayush Kumar, and Akaisha have been chosen for the lead roles, marking their Bollywood debuts. Fernandez previously appeared in Darshan’s 2017 film Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deewana Tha, while Kumar had a minor role in Dasvi (2022).
Musical Legacy Continues:
While Nadeem-Shravan composed the iconic tunes for the original, Andaaz 2 will see Nadeem (of the duo) collaborating with lyricist Sameer and choreographer Raju Khan to create an all-new soundtrack.
Familiar Hands, Fresh Stories:
Darshan returns to write, produce, and direct Andaaz 2, promising a familiar blend of romance, drama, and music. While the film is expected to release in 2024, details about the plot and characters remain under wraps.
Remembering the Original:
The original Andaaz, directed by Raj Kanwar and starring Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, and Priyanka Chopra, became a major success in 2003. Its catchy songs, young cast, and intriguing love triangle resonated with audiences. As Darshan himself recalls, the film even helped keep struggling cinemas afloat during a multiplex strike, showcasing its enduring impact.
Director Suneel Darshan, the man who introduced Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra to Bollywood with the 2003 rom-com bonanza Andaaz, is ready to reignite the magic with a sequel. Andaaz 2 promises to be a fresh take on the classic love triangle formula, infused with youthful energy and contemporary sensibilities.
Natasha Fernandez, Aayush Kumar, and Akaisha, a trio of promising newcomers, will step into the spotlight with this project. Fernandez, already familiar with Darshan’s vision from Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deewana Tha, brings a confident aura to the screen. Kumar, with his charismatic charm honed in Dasvi, promises to add layers of intrigue to the narrative. And Akaisha, a hidden gem, is poised to surprise audiences with her debut performance.
