Rajpal
Yadav
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Hungama
2
has
shut
down
the
idea
of
being
romantically
paired
with
Shilpa
Shetty.
The
actor
said
that
director
Priyadarshan
made
the
right
casting
choice
by
pairing
Shilpa
with
Paresh
Rawal.
While
in
an
interview
with
radio
host
Siddharth
Kannan,
Rajpal
said,
"Phir
Hungama
2
nahi
banta,
hungama
khada
ho
jaata.
Main
bohot
dhanyavaad
deta
hoon
ki
jahaan
pe
Shilpa
ji
ko
Priyan
ji
ne
rakha
hai
na,
woh
kateyi
sarvasresht
sthaan
hai.
Agar
Rajpal
ko
rakh
dete
toh
Rajpal
jo
hungama
karne
aate,
woh
hungama
nahi
kar
paate.
(Then
Hungama
2
would
not
be
made,
it
would
cause
an
uproar.
I
am
very
thankful
about
whom
Priyadarshan
cast
alongside
Shilpa,
it
is
the
best
thing
to
do.
If
I
was
cast,
I
would
not
be
able
to
do
justice)."
Meanwhile,
earlier
this
year,
Rajpal
Yadav
was
seen
romancing
Shilpa
in
a
BTS
video
from
the
sets.
On
the
occasion
of
the
actor's
birthday,
Shilpa
has
shared
a
video
with
fans
in
Instagram
stories.
The
video
showed
Shilpa
Shetty
and
Rajpal
put
their
spin
on
the
song
Dil
Ne
Yeh
Kaha
Hai
Dil
Se,
from
Shilpa's
movie
Dhadkan.
Rajpal
Yadav,
best
known
for
his
comic
roles
also
played
a
supporting
character
in
the
2003
release
alongside
Aftab
Shivdasani,
Akshaye
Khanna,
Rimi
Sen
and
Paresh
Rawal.
Meanwhile,
the
2021
release
stars
Paresh
Rawal
alongside
Shilpa
Shetty,
Rajpal,
Meezaan
and
Pranitha
Subhash.
Earlier,
Priyadarshan
had
revealed
that
Hungama
2
is
not
a
sequel
to
the
original
but
a
new
story.
"We
decided
to
title
the
new
comedy
Hungama
2
because
the
mood
of
masti,
mischief
and
hungama
remain
unchanged," the
filmmaker
said.
Hungama
2
also
marks
Shilpa's
acting
comeback
after
more
than
a
decade.
While
the
film
was
originally
set
for
a
theatrical
release,
the
film
will
now
be
out
directly
on
Disney+
Hotstar
on
July
23.
