'Hungama 2' to have a direct-to-digital release on Disney+ Hotstar from July 23

One would have imagined that the situation related to films these days will finally see a positive outcome soon as we continue to live in scary times when it comes to the pandemic. With the second wave being as deadly as one would have imagined, the future release dates of multiple big films continue to hang in the balance.

And while big-ticket films have chosen to wait it out where films like Sooryavanshi and 83 have now faced a delay of a year and a half, an array of films have chosen to take the digital route and release on OTT platforms. On that note, once such film that would have probably wanted a theatrical release will now be arriving on Disney+ Hotstar.

We are talking about Hungama 2, the sequel to superhit comedy film, Hungama. The sequel, as we know, marks the return of director Priyadarshan to Hindi films after a long gap and while it is titled Hungama 2, it will bare no resemblance to the original in terms of the characters. It can now be confirmed that Hungama 2 will be having a direct-to-digital release and will be arriving on Disney+Hotstar on 23rd July 2021.

The sequel does mark the return of Paresh Rawal from the original but also marks the comeback of actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra after a huge amount of time. Apart from them, actors Meezaaan Jaafrey and Pranita Subhash play lead roles.
