Just yesterday, we told you about how Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari Wagh were all set to star in the sequel to the iconic film, Bunty Aur Babli. While we were super thrilled about this fresh pairing, looks like we have reason to celebrate now as one of our most favourite jodis from the Hum Tum and Ta Ra Rum Pum days are going to be back with this movie. Yes, Rani Mukerji and Saif Ali Khan are all set to be back together on screen with Bunty Aur Babli 2. Now, if this isn’t exciting news!
According to a report in Hindustan Times, Rani said:
It got tremendous love and appreciation from audiences, which led to the sequel. Abhishek and I were both approached to reprise our roles as the originals in Bunty Aur Babli 2 but, unfortunately, things didn’t work out with him and we will miss him dearly. As a team, we are so happy to welcome Saif. I have lovely memories of working with him and I’m really looking forward to creating something new and exciting with him in Bunty Aur Babli 2. Hopefully, the audiences will give us the same love that they have given our earlier films.
Ask Saif about how he feels regarding the collaboration and he tells:
It’s a completely rebooted sequel and is set in today’s time. It is a fantastic script that hooked me instantly. It is an out-and-out entertainer for the entire family to sit and enjoy and this is what I loved and connected with. Also, it’s a new role for me, new language and milieu and that’s what I really look for in a script. I also love the dynamics between the originals and the new Bunty Babli in the film. It’s fresh, hilarious and extremely engaging. Rani and I have always had a lot of fun working with each other and I’m looking forward to our creative collaboration again.
The film is being directed by debutant Varun Sharma and will be produced by Aditya Chopra and we cannot wait for this one!
