Dev Patel returns for the Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel alongside an all-star cast of Dame Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Dame Maggie Smith and Celia Imrie.

The Slumdog Millionaire star admits he was “jumping for joy” when he heard they were making a sequel to the hit film about a group of retired Brits who go to live in a new hotel in India.

Dev said: “You’ve got all these amazing screen legends, to get them all in one package deal is just ridiculous!”

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which also stars Richard Gere and Tamsin Grieg, is in cinemas now.
