Luv Ranjan happy with ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’

Director Luv Ranjan is content with the box-office performance of Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2, which has managed to make more than Rs600 million (Dh33 million). He says it has proven that filmmakers can score big even without big stars.

“When we get the result of hard work, it gives [us] immense pleasure. So our film Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 has got good response from audience and I am very happy. If our film wasn’t good enough, people wouldn’t have liked it so much,” Ranjan said.

“I’m happy that people believed in my belief that successful films can be made without big stars. The film has fared well and is still doing fair business ... Making a good movie is my job, how much business would a film do, that’s not for me to look out for,” said Ranjan, whose previous film, Akaash Vani, was a box-office failure.

So what’s next for the director? “It took me three years to put together a sequel (to Pyaar Ka Punchnama). It may take me another three years or even more to come up with another film. Right now Pyaar ka Punchnama is doing well ... let’s see what will be the next,” he said.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 stars Kartik Aaryan, Nushrat Bharucha, Sunny Singh, Sonnalli Saygal, Omkar Kapoor and Ishita Raj.
