Plot development
'Haseen Dillruba 3' aims to elevate suspense and excitement
The original Haseen Dillruba, which was released on Netflix in 2021, became a huge hit due to its small-town charm and unpredictable plot twists.
Its sequel, Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba, was released in August 2024.
"It is one of the most successful titles for the platform. So, the aim is to create a more fun, juicy and thrilling third part," the source said.
Pannu is currently busy filming Mulk 2.
