Putting an end to Singham, Ajay will once again shift his attention to the De De Pyaar De sequel. Anshul Sharma will make his directorial debut with the movie, which is produced by Luv Ranjan in collaboration with T Series. The plot will pick up where DDPD left off, and rumors are that in De De Pyaar De 2, the filmmakers have elevated situational comedy to a new level.

The source added, “Ajay is doing films in the zone that fans want to see him in. There is a variation in his franchises too, as he shifts from an action thriller to a rom-com to a real-life thriller to a massy entertainer to mad cap comic caper. He is taking the stakes higher with all the franchises yet ensuring that there is a variation in the lineup.”
