Earlier on July 23, Shilpa Shetty also shared a post on the photo-sharing site and urged her fans to watch her movie. She shared the film's poster and wrote a long caption. She had written, "I believe and practice the teachings of Yoga, 'The only place where life exists is the present moment, NOW.' Hungama 2 involves the relentless efforts of an entire team that’s worked very hard to make a good film, and the film shouldn’t suffer… ever!

Businessman Raj Kundra was arrested on July 19 by the Mumbai Police for allegedly creating pornographic films and publishing them through a mobile application. Kundra had joined hands with his UK-based brother-in-law Pradeep Bakshi and used the Hotshot app to publish all the content. The Mumbai Police Commissioner Hemant Nagrale had said, "He appears to be the key conspirator. We have sufficient evidence regarding this." The case was first registered in the month of February 2021 with Crime Branch Mumbai. 

Talking about Shilpa's film, Hungama 2 is a romantic-comedy-drama helmed by Priyadarshan. The film is loosely based on 1994's Malayalam release, Minnaram. It features Shilpa, Paresh Rawal, Mee_zaan Jaffrey, and Pranitha Subhash in lead roles. The film also marks the comeback of Priyadarshan after eight years.
