Bunty Aur Babli sequel on the cards

Starring Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji and Amitabh Bachchan in principal roles, Shaad Ali’s Bunty Aur Babli was one of the most successful films of 2005, which still enjoys huge viewership on television.

Now, after one and a half decade, we hear that Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan might reunite for a sequel to Yash Raj Films’ Bunty Aur Babli. Well, if the news turns out to be true, that will be a moment to rejoice because whenever Mukerji and Junior Bachchan have worked together, they have always stolen our hearts with their outstanding performances.


Bunty Aur Babli sequel has been on cards for quite some time now. But it was only recently that the things were taken forward. Aditya Chopra himself is looking into this and the pre-production work has already started. Both Rani and Abhishek are more than keen to do this project and have given their nod for it. However, it won’t be directed by Shaad. Who is helming this sequel is yet not revealed. But the plot has been finalised and the shoot schedule is being planned. If everything works out well, then the movie will tentatively go on-floors in November, this year,” a source close to Yash Raj Films reveals.

Rani recently made her comeback to films with immensely loved Hichki, while Abhishek Bachchan is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Manmarziyan.
