Divyendu Sharma did not want to limit himself as a comic actor post his debut in "Pyaar Ka Punchnama" but believes now would be a fun time to revisit the franchise. Divyendu, who became famous for playing Liquid in Luv Ranjan's buddy-comedy, said he decided for a genre change being fully aware of the popularity of the series. The actor did not return in the follow-up to the 2011 film as he feels he had nothing new to offer to the character.

"I didn't want to do comedy back to back. I thought I would be slotted in the genre and hence I decided to take a break, explore other stuff. I had given my all to Liquid. I was aware I am saying 'no' to a hit franchise. "It was a hard choice to make but I knew I had to branch out. If I come back to that character today, I know it will be very interesting. Since I have explored the other side and shown people, they won't say 'I only do this.' If Liquid comes back to me, I will take it," Divyendu told PTI.
