A few minutes ago, Yash Raj Films put all the speculations to the rest as they announced the new Bunty Aur Babli of Bollywood. Reports of Bunty Aur Babli Sequel have been doing the rounds for quite some time now. Names of different Bollywood celebs like Rani Mukerji and Saif Ali Khan popped up every day. But till now, no official announcement was made about the new ‘Bunty Aur Babli’. The film is a sequel to 2005 release Bunty Aur Babli, which ruled hearts and the box-office. Now the con duo is back and we are sure their fans can’t contain the excitement. The first instalment starred Rani Mukerjee and Abhishek Bachchan in the lead roles and was helmed by Shaad Ali.
The rebooted version will star Gully Boy fame Siddhant Chaturvedi, who rose to fame with his MC Sher. YRF is launching a new heroine to watch out for with this franchise. Babli will be played by Sharvari, a stunningly gorgeous girl from Mumbai that YRF discovered last year and has been grooming her since then! The much-anticipated sequel will see a huge time leap of 10 years and introduce an incredibly fresh pair as the talented conmen Bunty and Babli. YRF has also always launched several new directors under its banner and Bunty Aur Babli 2 will be directed by Varun Sharma, who was an Assistant Director on YRF’s biggest blockbusters Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.

Speaking about the same, Sharma said, “Bunty Aur Babli 2 is completely set in today’s time. Siddhant caught everyone’s eye with his brilliant acting debut in Gully Boy and became the heartthrob of the nation. We are very excited to have him play the role of Bunty. He is a superb actor, is extremely charming and he fits the role perfectly. Sharvari is an extremely special actress to watch out for. She is a powerful performer and you have to watch her on-screen to understand what we mean. Given the film and the roles, they are definitely the perfect casting. They are a fresh, hot pair and their chemistry and energy is infectious.”
