Now, Ayan Mukerji has reacted to these rumours and broke silence on the same in the recent interview. Talking to News18, the filmmaker didn't reveal any hint on this burning question and said, "I can’t reveal who Dev is. I have been reading a lot of names but it will be a mystery for a while."
Ayan, who has made his comeback to direction after nine years with Brahmastra after helming Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani in 2013 and making his debut with Wake Up Sid in 2009, also talked about the fan theories and stated, "Just yesterday Alia shared a few fan theories with me and some of them really caught my attention. So we are going to give a hard knock and make the script of part two fresher and then we’ll start looking into the production part."
