Yash Raj Films’ Bunty Aur Babli 2, which is set to release worldwide on November 19, is an out-and-out comedy that will pit two sets of con artists called Bunty and Babli, from different generations, against each other!
Stalwarts Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji play the OG Bunty-Babli while Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari Wagh, play the new Bunty-Babli. The family entertainer is releasing this festive season and the cast members are thrilled that the industry is set to celebrate Diwali after two long years as big films start hitting the cinemas now.
“As an industry, we are thrilled to be celebrating Diwali after two years. Our industry was the worst hit because of the pandemic and it is bouncing back now. We are confident that the audience will support us and come back to the cinemas to watch good films, now that theatres have opened across India. Films have been a part of festivities forever, as families come out to watch movies to celebrate the occasion. We are confident that it will be no different starting this Diwali,” shares Saif.
Rani notes, “Diwali has always been about togetherness, and this year, it holds more meaning as we are celebrating this festival after a long while due to the pandemic. Movies are meant for a community viewing experience and now we can finally do that again. Bunty Aur Babli 2 is a family entertainer and we wish to deliver on that promise.”
“Cinema and celebrations have always gone hand in hand. All of us have so many happy memories attached to watching films in cinema halls. It’s been two years since we have done that together. It’s been two years since we have celebrated as a community. We are seeing a glimmer of hope now and I’m certain that people will love to watch great entertainers on the big screen. Let’s return to the theatres and enjoy movies the way they are meant to be,” adds Chaturvedi
Sharvari expresses, “The place that entertained everyone at every season, transported everyone to a whole new world, is back this Diwali. It is time that we celebrate movies on the big screen. We wish everyone a Happy Diwali and we promise that audiences will be thoroughly entertained by our film.”
