Exclusive: Genelia Deshmukh on reuniting with Riteish Deshmukh for Ved 2!
Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh After the success of Ved in 2023, Genelia Deshmukh has confirmed that a sequel is in the works. The Marathi film, directed by her husband Riteish Deshmukh and a remake of the Telugu hit Majili, resonated deeply with audiences. In a conversation with Mirror, Genelia shared, 'Right now, Riteish and I are busy with our individual projects. But as soon as we find time, we'll work on a film together. Ved 2 is definitely on the cards! It might take a year or two, but people keep asking about it, and it has to happen.' Genelia also revealed that Ved was a hit not just with audiences but with their sons Riaan and Rahyl too. 'We've shown them films like Ved and Dhamaal, but they haven't seen Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na yet. Recently, they watched Sitaare Zameen Par. I made a conscious decision to take them because it's a film about inclusion and empathy—it teaches important life lessons. I even took 30 kids along to watch it. The film shows that everyone has their own version of normal. I was proud to be part of it. I've really missed films that speak to kids.' Talking about audiences returning to theatres, Genelia said, 'A good film always finds its audience. People don't avoid theatres, I think sometimes the content is just not engaging enough for them. I look at theatrical films as a great medium because it becomes an outing and a family bonding activity.'

Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza are undoubtedly one of the most beloved couples in the entertainment industry.

When they (paps) ask for pictures, you thank them for clicking and move on. They (kids) also need to understand that when someone comes and clicks you there is a certain work gone behind the need to come to click us. It's important to not make a big deal out of it."
