Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 Director: Prasshant Jha Cast: Avinash Tiwary, Medha Shankr, Lillete Dubey, Sudhir Pandey Rating: ★★⯪ It’s a curious thing, how rom-coms often feel like the same wine poured into different glasses. The beats are familiar, the turns expected, and yet, they remain a staple of the Indian film industry. Watching Ginny Wedss Sunny 2, a film that rarely strays from the predictable, one is reminded of countless others that have walked the exact path. And still, the question lingers: does that familiarity take away from this experience? Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 review: Medha Shankr and Avinash Tiwary in a still from the film. Interestingly, the original Ginny Weds Sunny (2020) had skipped theatres for a direct-to-OTT release, with Yami Gautam Dhar and Vikrant Massey in the lead. The sequel opting for a theatrical run suggests the first film delivered numbers strong enough for the makers to double down, making this follow-up written and directed by Prasshant Jha, something of an anomaly.

Avinash Tiwary slams Bollywood fixation with looks, fans see it as dig at Salman, SRK

4 min readNew DelhiApr 17, 2026 04:21 PM IST Actor Avinash Tiwary, who is gearing up for the release of Ginny Weds Sunny 2 alongside Medha Shankar, has spoken about the idea of “underrated” actors and Bollywood’s skewed priorities when it comes to talent versus visibility. In a conversation with Siddharth Kanan, Avinash questioned the very idea of being “underrated,” arguing that audience behaviour often contradicts the praise given to certain actors. He said, “When we say someone is underrated, what do we really mean? If you ask people who the best actor in the country is, many will say Irrfan Khan. But how many actually went to theatres to watch his films? Today, actors like Manoj Bajpayee and Kay Kay Menon are considered among the finest. But how many people actually go to cinemas to watch them?” Comparing Bollywood with other industries, he added, “Look at the South film industry or Hollywood—they celebrate talent, skill and craft. Here, that culture seems missing.” ALSO READ | ‘No regrets’: Hansika Motwani on divorce, facing a ‘dark’ …

He went on to elaborate on the fact that the current male leads in love stories are so driven by rage that they often become unrecognizable. ‘Men in the 90s weren’t SRK’s fans’ “From what I’ve seen of the world and those around me, almost 80 to 90% of boys probably wouldn’t even say hello to a girl by themselves. This is how we are, this what real India is. It’s those 5 to 10% who create problems, making us all look bad. But most men have never properly interacted with a woman, and this film is trying to show that.” Explaining his view point, he also reflected on the legendary Shah Rukh Khan and what made him stand out in romantic roles: “What is it that he …
