Ginny Weds Sunny 2 Locks April 24 Release as Stars Pitch Family Rom-Com, Question Bollywood’s Image Obsession

Their interviews turn promotion into a critique of marketing-led visibility that sidelines craft.

Overview

  • Zee Studios and Soundrya Production confirmed the theatrical release for April 24, with Prasshant Jha directing this spiritual follow‑up to the 2020 film.
  • Positioning the movie for family crowds, Avinash Tiwary and Medha Shankr said they hope a lighter rom‑com can draw viewers in a market leaning toward big spectacle titles like Dhurandhar.
  • Tiwary argued that Hindi cinema overvalues physical image over skill, citing older stars flaunting six‑pack abs, and said hype often eclipses appreciation for acting craft.
  • He also criticized the push to fuel box‑office frenzy, saying promotions now sell obsession—such as rushing to buy dawn tickets—rather than two hours of simple escapism.
  • Shankr described feeling sidelined at events when designers refused to lend outfits, and said she picked this film after 12th Fail because it felt right for a broad audience, which she believes can spur more such films if they show up.
