Talking about ‘Ek Villain Returns’ trailer, producer Bhushan Kumar, Chairman & Managing Director – T-Series, said, “The Ek Villain franchise has already gathered a lot of momentum! The response to the teaser posters and the build-up campaign of EK Villain Returns has been great and we are thankful for all the love that has been coming our way so far. We hope you enjoy the trailer! See you in cinemas on 29th July!”
Producer Ektaa R Kapoor shared, “Ek Villain Returns has taken the franchise a notch higher with action-packed sequences, romance and cliff hangers! The album is by far the best I’ve heard to date and I can’t wait to share the music of the film with the audience. The attempt is to present a big screen spectacle with intense romance! Come celebrate ‘Villaintines Day’ with us in theatres on 29th July.”
Director Mohit Suri said, “Ek Villain Returns in the most high-octane avatar yet this July! The film has been a labour of love for all of us – every single person working both, behind and in front of the scenes has given it their all to bring back the best of the action thriller universe. Can’t wait till the film is finally yours!”
John Abraham said, “When I read the script of Ek Villain Returns, I knew it was what I wanted to do because it was like a homecoming for me. My Bollywood debut Jism was with Mohit as an assistant director on the film. He has come a long way and it’s great to see him grow! I’m really looking forward to 29th July!”
Arjun Kapoor said, “Action is my absolute favourite genre! The script of Ek Villain Returns has easily been one of the most powerful and gripping action thrillers that I have come across and Mohit Suri has brought it alive on canvas in an even bigger way! A lot of hard work has gone into this film and we hope you enjoy it!”
Disha Patani said, “Most of my films have been action thrillers but when I say that you haven’t seen anything like Ek Villain Returns, I mean it! We have done our best to keep you on the edge of your seat and the trailer is only a sneak-peek into what’s to come your way! Beware – you have been warned!”
Tara Sutaria said, “Collectively, the music team, Mohit and I, on Ek Villain Returns, have tried to create music that is the highlight of the film. Everybody that has watched the film and the trailer so far feels the same and we can’t wait to share it with you very soon!”
