While
speaking
to
a
media
agency,
veteran
filmmaker
Priyadarshan
revealed
that
before
approaching
Meezaan
Jaffrey
for
Hungama
2,
he
had
approached
many
young
actors
like
Kartik
Aaryan,
Ayushmann
Khurrana
and
Sidharth
Malhotra.
However,
none
of
them
showed
interest
in
the
project.
He
told
PTI,
"I
didn't
go
directly
to
meet
them
but
my
concept
was
narrated
to
a
lot
of
actors
like
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
Kartik
Aaryan
and
Siddharth
Malhotra.
They
all
refused
to
do
the
film.
Now,
I
am
working
with
Meezaan.
They
all
refused
because
maybe
they
thought
I
am
an
outdated
director,
because
I
was
out
of
the
Hindi
film
industry
for
five
years."
Priyadarshan
further
added
that
he
doesn't
believe
in
pleasing
the
actor
so
that
they
sign
his
project.
He
only
wants
to
collaborate
with
actors,
who
could
believe
in
his
direction.
He
said,
"They
seemed
disinterested.
They
don't
tell
it
to
you
on
your
face.
I
don't
like
to
beg
to
actors
and
(I)
prefer
to
work
with
somebody
who
believes
in
me.
Many
times
when
you
request
an
actor
to
do
a
film,
they
show
respect
to
you,
offer
you
coffee
and
nicely
they
will
avoid
you,
because
maybe
they
don't
trust
you."
Speaking
about
Hungama
2,
the
Hera
Pheri
director
revealed
that
the
film
is
about
a
total
misunderstanding.
"The
old
film
is
about
misunderstanding
and
confusion
and
same
is
the
case
with
Hungama
2
but
the
story
is
different."
Apart
from
Meezaan
Jaffrey,
the
film
also
casts
Paresh
Rawal,
Shilpa
Shetty
Kundra
and
south
actor
Pranitha
Subhash.
