Seems like Bunty aur Babli sequel is finally happening but not with Abhishek Bachchan. While the original movie directed by Shaad Ali was a box office winner, its sequel was in the pipeline for the longest of time. Reports suggested if Abhishek will return with Rani Mukerji for its second part but if an article in SpotboyE is to believe, then AB Jr is not related to this sequel in any way. Saif Ali Khan, in fact, has been chosen as the film's lead hero and the project is expected to go on floors next week.

The team is expected to fly to Benaras and Bulandshahr to kickstart the shooting of this sequel and the lead actors will be joined by two new faces. While Gully Boy's Siddhant Chaturvedi is on board for this drama, debutante Sharvari Wagh is also selected to romance him in this movie. We are quite excited about this new update and hope to hear an official announcement very soon. Saif and Rani's chemistry was hugely appreciated in Hum Tum, though their other releases like Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic and Ta Ra Rum Pum failed to mint any reasonable amount of money.

It's still unclear if Amitabh Bachchan will be a part of this new sequel. There are chances that he may have a cameo in it. Meanwhile, Rani is busy with her promotions of Mardaani 2 these days while Saif is looking forward to Jawaani Jaaneman, that hits the screens on February 7, 2020.
