Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 Director Getting 600 Calls Everyday

The dialogue mouthed by Anshul aka Gogo (played by Kartik Aaryan) in Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 in which he gives away his phone number to his girlfriend Ruchika (played by Nushrat Bharucha) wasn’t just a random number but it was film’s associate director Rahul Mody’s number. Kartik’s prank to use Mody’s number has driven the director to the edge. The 26-year-old Lokhandwala filmmaker has been receiving about 600 calls in a day since the film has released. He is getting calls not only from India but from Dubai and Russia as well.

“During the shoot, there was a blank space in Kartik's dialogue for a dummy phone number. He chose to use my number in the scene. This led to viewers calling me and asking about Gogo and Anshul. I then politely introduced myself to them”, Mody told DNA.

“Since the release of the film, I have been receiving back to back calls, even at night. One of the callers, a girl from Noida, started saying the dialogues from the film. The men mostly call up to say they have gone through similar situations”. He also said, “One of the women was still inside the cinema hall when she called and kept insisting that I was Gogo. Then she started coaxing me to arrange a conference call with Kartik, which I refused”.

Kartik Aaryan, who mouthed the dialogue, said, “We were just playing a prank and decided to go ahead with Rahul's number. When we both were together, he gave me the phone to speak to a few callers and it was hilarious. I can only imagine how he must have handled those callers, but we are happy that the movie has received a great response”.
