Rakul Preet Singh looking forward to reuniting with De De Pyaar De team for a sequel

2019 turned out to be an immensely successful year for actress Rakul Preet Singh. She was seen in two movies – De De Pyaar De and Marjaavaan – and both of them emerged as profitable ventures for all the stakeholders involved.

Her comic-caper De De Pyaar De went on to join the coveted ₹100 crore club within days of its theatrical release. Co-starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu, the movie revolves around a London-based couple who has a huge age gap. The twist in the tale comes when, on their arrival in India, the girlfriend comes to know that her boyfriend is yet to divorce his first wife.


A couple of days ago, the makers of De De Pyaar De announced that they were planning to roll out a sequel to their superhit film. Rakul Preet Singh is thrilled about reuniting with the team for the sequel.

Talking to an online publication, Singh said, "I am a fan of both Ajay sir and Tabu ma’am. On the sets, they treated me like an equal.” Adding further, the actress said that it was the story and her character Aisha which drew her to the script of the film. "I was getting to play my age in a film that talked about age-gap in relationships in a new way."

She went on to add that she used to message director Akiv Ali asking about a sequel to the film. "I used to message Akiv sir, asking when we would do a sequel. I got to know from the news, too, and I am already looking forward to working with the same team again,” she said in conclusion.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
