Diana Penty also shared her excitement surrounding the sequel and Sona becoming a part of the venture and said in a statement, "HBJ was a special film for me, so being part of HBJ Returns is like going back to family! HBJ was a fun, roller- coaster of a ride and I’m sure this one is going to be as much of a riot! I’m looking forward to the shoot."

Anand L Rai also spoke to the media and said, “Happy Bhag Jayegi was a cross-border comedy of errors featuring humorous characters and now we are happy to announce the sequel that has Diana passing on the happy-ness quotient to Sonakshi. Excited to have her on board."
