In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Priyadarshan spoke about remaking his romantic comedy drama, Hulchul. When asked about Hulchul 2, the filmmaker said, “Yes yes, there is a plan but not yet confirmed. We have just decided that we will make it, but nothing else has been decided as yet. I am making a South film now.” The 2004 original had an ensemble cast including, Akshaye Khanna, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Amrish Puri, Paresh Rawal, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Arbaaz Khan, Arshad Warsi, Shakti Kapoor, Manoj Joshi and Asrani. 

Meanwhile, in an earlier conversation with Pinkvilla, Priyadarshan had confirmed that he is definitely doing a film with Akshay Kumar too. “My film with him is on the scripting stage. Few things are happening, and the film got delayed because of Covid. Two years of pushing has happened, so it is all under discussion. But I am doing a film with him,” the director had informed.
