According to reports, Badhaai Ho 2 has been titled Badhaai Do and it will feature Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles. For the unversed, the film Badhaai Ho narrates a story of a middle-aged couple who get pregnant leading to disappointment for their adult son.
The film Badhaai Ho turned out a commercial success and it is reported to have earned Rs 221 crore against a budget of Rs 29 crore. The film won four awards at the 64th Filmfare Awards, including Best Actress (Critics) for Gupta, Best Supporting Actress for Sikri, and Best Supporting Actor for Rao.
Coming back to Baadhai Ho sequel, Rajkummar Rao will be seen playing a Delhi based cop while Bhumi Pednekar will be essaying the role of the PT teacher. The film Badhaai Do is all about the goof-ups which take place once their characters meet each other.
Talking about his role in Badhaai Do, Rajkummar said, “I look for layered characters and this is a perfect match. My character is surrounded by strong women at home and work, and that adds immense depth to his personality.”
Sharing details about her character in Badhaai Do, Bhumi told Bombay Times that she instantly agreed to be part of the film since she has been a fan of ‘Badhaai Ho’ and the script gripped her right from the beginning.
“My character again is strong, independent and author-backed, and it gives me a lot of scope to bring a very different and cool character to life. This time, too, the film will say something extremely relevant and relatable, but in a hilarious manner. I’m also excited to share screen space with Raj for the first time,” she stated.
Directed by Harshavardhan Kulkarni, Badhaai Do is likely to go on floors in June 2020 and is slated to release in early 2021.
