Badhaai Do, Starring Bhumi Pednekar and Rajkummar Rao, to Go on Floors from January 2021

Actor Bhumi Pednekar and Rajkummar Rao starrer Badhaai Do will go on the floors from January 2021. Pednekar took to Twitter on Sunday to make the announcement. 

Rao also took to Twitter on Sunday to post the same picture and announcement.

Directed by Harshvardhan Kulkarni, Badhaai Do is a sequel to the hit Hindi film 2018 release Badhaai Ho, directed by Amit Sharma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Sanya Malhotra, Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao and Surekha Sikri.

Though the director of the film has changed, the sequel is being bankrolled under Junglee Productions banner, which also produced the first film.

The official announcement of the film was made earlier this year in March.

Speaking about the film, Rao told Mumbai Mirror: “I am happy things are picking up pace and the wheel is moving again.”

“I have played many different roles previously in my films but my character in Badhaai Do is truly special. I loved the script since the first narration as the subject is very relevant and is packaged in the most entertaining way,” Pednekar told Mumbai Mirror.

Badhaai Ho revolved around the social stigma that an elderly couple (played by Gupta and Rao) face when they realise they are expecting their third child, at a time when their elder son (Khurrana) is preparing to get married.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the sequel revolves around an unlikely relationship between a Delhi cop and a school PT teacher and the goof ups that follow when they meet.
