Shilpa Shetty Kundra starrer Hungama 2 to release on Disney+ Hotstar on 23rd July

Last month, producer Ratan Jain had confirmed that his movie Hungama 2 starring Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Paresh Rawal, Meezaan Jafri, and Pranita Subhash in the lead roles will get a direct-to-digital release on Disney+ Hotstar.

Now, on Wednesday, the makers announced that the film is set to premiere on the digital platform on 23rd July 2021. Shilpa took to Twitter to make an announcement about the release date.


She tweeted, “Can’t keep calm, kyunki ab hoga Hungama! #DisneyPlusHotstarMultiplex #Hungama2 trailer coming out on July 1st on Disney+ Hotstar VIP! You don’t want to miss this! @pranitasubhash @meezaanj @rajpalofficial @SirPareshRawal @iamjohnylever @rtnjn @ashutoshrana10 @priyadarshandir.”

The trailer of Hungama 2 will be out on 1st July 2021. The film will mark Shilpa’s acting comeback after a gap of 14 years.

Hungama 2 is directed by Priyadarshan who is also making a comeback in Bollywood after eight years.

A few weeks ago, while talking to Mid-day, the filmmaker had revealed that he is disappointed with the direct-to-digital release of the movie. He had stated, “I am naturally disappointed as it’s the kind of film that people will enjoy watching together. It is my first Bollywood movie after eight years, and I was looking forward to it releasing in theatres. It is not meant for people to watch alone at home. But you cannot blame anybody.”

5 mythological picks now streaming in the UK — and why they’re worth watching

Highlights:

  • Indian mythological titles are landing on global OTT services with better quality and reach.
  • Netflix leads the push with Kurukshetra and Mahavatar Narsimha.
  • UK viewers can access some titles now, though licensing varies.
  • Regional stories and folklore films are expanding the genre.
  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
