De De Pyaar De 2 is the romantic comedy sequel that fans have been waiting for, and the trailer confirms that Ashish and Ayesha's age-gap romance will confront its greatest obstacle thus far: her family. Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh reprise their roles from the 2019 smash blockbuster De De Pyaar De in this sequel, which sets the ground for a "Pyaar vs. Parivaar" showdown by having the protagonists deal with the tricky subject of parental consent.

New characters and central conflict

Just three minutes into the preview, we learn about the new central conflict. The video opens with a shot of a palatial home before cutting to Ayesha (Rakul Preet Singh) discussing her older, divorced boyfriend, Ashish (Ajay Devgn), with a couple who are revealed to be her 'progressive yet protective parents', played by R. Madhavan and Gautami Kapoor. For instance, Madhavan's character shows obvious distrust and worry at the large age disparity, which he compares to the gap between himself and his daughter.

The story's centre focuses on Ashish's mission to win over Ayesha's family. Ashish and Ayesha's father have heated and frequently comical exchanges, as seen in the trailer. Dev Khurana, played by Madhavan, seems hell-bent on protecting his daughter, which sets the stage for several hilarious situations, one of which being the iconic scene in which Dev and his wife violently throw Ashish from a vehicle. The fact that Ayesha's dad can't believe Ashish brought up the widespread practice of avoiding lentils (daal) is more evidence of the generational and cultural divide.

Returning and unexpected supporting cast

Meezaan Jafri, a young and charming character, unexpectedly enters the story as either Ayesha's rival for her affections or her father's strategy to distance her from Ashish. In keeping with the humorous "bro code" from the previous installment, Jaaved Jaaferi, who played Ashish's best friend in the first film, returns to provide clever, encouraging language.

The trailer confirms the film's goal of capturing the original's light-hearted yet approachable spirit by pacing its romance, comedy, and family drama scenes. 'Charm, spontaneity, and refreshing honesty' are what Rakul Preet Singh's Ayesha is known for, as said in the announcement. The trailer captures the core conflict of love vs. familial devotion by showing her trapped between the two powerful forces in her life. You can look forward to an extended realm of family lunacy thanks to supporting cast members Tarun Gehlot and Ishita Dutta.

Release date

Anshul Sharma, who was also a creative producer on the original film, helms and produces De De Pyaar De 2.

Officially, November 14, 2025, is when the sequel will be released in theatres. With 'twice the drama, double the pleasure', the trailer promises viewers an exhilarating journey as Ashish faces the daunting obstacle of Ayesha's overprotective parents.
