Ayushmann Khurrana and Nushrratt Bharuccha starrer ‘Dream Girl’ was one of the most loved films. It enjoyed a great run at the box office too. After a positive response, the makers reportedly announced that they will be coming up with the second part. It was also reported that the film will go on floors later this year. But there was no update on the leading lady.
According to an entertainment portal, Ananya Panday, who is currently busy promoting ‘Liger’, is finalized to play the female lead opposite Ayushmann. A source close to the development told the portal that the makers are in talks with Ananya.

Earlier, there were rumours that Tejasswi Prakash, who won Salman Khan’s ‘Bigg Boss 15’, was all set to make her Bollywood debut alongside Ayushmann in ‘Dream Girl 2’. Later, it was also reported that Sara Ali Khan has been approached for the role. But it looks like, the makers have zeroed down on Ananya for the sequel.
Meanwhile, Ananya will be seen in the pan-India film, ‘Liger’ with Vijay Deverakonda. The duo is currently busy promoting the film in the city. Apart from this, she has ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Adarsh Gourav. On the other hand, Ayushmann has ‘Doctor G’ and ‘An Action Hero’ in the pipeline.
