Positive word of mouth has helped Dream Girl rake in the moolah at the box office. In an exclusive interview with mid-day earlier, the National Award-winning actor said that he has already received the best gift he could have asked for. "Dream Girl is off to a good start. What's gratifying is that with this film, the trade has started viewing me in a different light altogether," he said.
Dream Girl showcases Ayushmann Khurrana's character of a guy who dresses up as women for local dramas. The guy, in the film, is so confident which leads him to pick up a job in a radio station requiring him to speak to the listeners in an effeminate voice. Within no time, Pooja, Ayushmann Khurrana's female voice, takes over the whole city with her inviting voice.
Also starring Annu Kapoor, Vijay Raaz, Manjot Singh, Nidhi Bisht, Rajesh Sharma, Abhishek Banerjee, and Raj Bhansali, the Ekta Kapoor production released on September 13, 2019.
