Trivia
- The film's title 'Dream Girl 2' is a direct sequel to the 2019 hit 'Dream Girl', but it features a completely new story and characters, not continuing the previous plot.
- Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who plays Karam, performed many of his own stunts and dance sequences despite having a knee injury during filming.
- The movie was shot extensively in Mathura and Vrindavan to authentically capture the small-town setting, with local crowds often gathering to watch the shoots.
- Director Raaj Shaandilyaa initially planned a different actor for the lead but rewrote the script specifically for Ayushmann Khurrana after his success in the first film.
- A special team of makeup artists took nearly three hours daily to transform Ayushmann Khurrana into his female avatar 'Pooja' for the dual-role scenes.
- The film includes a cameo by veteran actor Anil Kapoor, who appears in a song sequence, though his role was kept a secret before release.
- Despite being a comedy, the film subtly references social issues like debt traps and gender stereotypes common in small-town India.
