In an exclusive interview with ETimes, the Dream Girl actor discussed her unhappiness at not being chosen as the female lead in the sequel and how the producers did not give her any clear reason for being replaced by Ananya. "I was a part of Dream Girl 1 and I love that whole team," Nushrratt remarked of the situation. I miss working with them immensely. But I believe only they know why I wasn't cast in Dream Girl 2. I'm not sure, there's no logic, and there's no answer. But why weren't they interested in casting me? It aches because I am a human being. Of course, it feels unjust.But I get it, it is their decision. Cool, no problem.”
Interestingly, Nushratt's highly anticipated next film, Akelli, will be released on the same day as Dream Girl 2. In response to the box office conflict between Akelli and Dream Girl 2, Bharuccha stated, "I had no idea my film would be released on the same day as Dream Girl 2." My film was supposed to be released on the 18th, but due to censorship concerns, we didn't have necessary licences and had to postpone it. We didn't want to, but we had no choice. Raj sir responded to my story by saying, 'All the best'. And I said, "Sir, something is connected in our universe." I wasn't in your film, but my second is coming out on the same day.
