MUMBAI: Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer ‘Badhaai Do’, the sequel to the 2018 hit ‘Badhaai Ho’, has a new release date. The film, which was earlier scheduled to hit theatres on the Republic Day weekend, 2022, will now arrive in cinemas on 4 February 2022.
Bhumi took to her Instagram handle to share the new release date. She wrote, “Badhaai Do will now release in theatres on February 4, 2022! We cannot wait for you to witness this family entertainer on the big screen. See you at the movies.”
The upcoming film is being directed by Harshavardhan Kulkarni and produced by Junglee Pictures. ‘Badhaai Do’ is written by Akshat Ghildial and Suman Adhikary. Sharing screen space for the first time, Rajkummar and Bhumi will be seen portraying interesting characters they have never played on screen before. Raj will be essaying the role of a cop in a Mahila police thana and Bhumi will be playing the role of a PT teacher.
While the story and characters of ‘Badhaai Do’ are different from that of ‘Badhaai Ho’, there is a common theme as both are family-oriented films that will be endearing to the audience.
