Ajay Devgn is gearing up for another sequel. Following his appearances in Singham Again and Raid 2, the actor is set to return in De De Pyaar De 2, the sequel to his successful 2019 romantic comedy, alongside Rakul Preet Singh and Tabu.

Helmed by Luv Ranjan, De De Pyaar De focused on Aashish Mehra (Ajay), a 50-year-old NRI investor who starts a live-in arrangement with 27-year-old stripper Ayesha (Rakul).
