A reliable source illuminates the path ahead, stating, “Anees Bazmee will soon approach a fresh batch of actors. His script brims with comedic brilliance, and he remains steadfast in his commitment to the project’s success.

Film to Commence from August 2023
Initial plans slated the film’s commencement for August 2023, a date that now stands in flux due to the unforeseen departure of Shahid Kapoor. With the project steering into a new horizon, the team tactfully postponed its onset to September, giving ample time for the new ensemble to assemble and flourish under Bazmee’s creative guidance. Dil Raju’s backing solidifies the foundation of the endeavor, which was tentatively christened “Double Trouble” and originally set to feature Rashmika Mandanna in a prominent role.
Amidst these cinematic machinations, Anees Bazmee’screative canvas extends beyond this venture. “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,” a project that reunites him with Kartik Aaryan, is slated to grace theaters during Diwali 2024. Following the runaway success of its predecessor, this installment promises a similar concoction of laughter and intrigue, with Kartik reprising his role as Rooh Baba. As the curtains rise on this cinematic drama, Shahid Kapoor embarks on his own journeys. With the directorial prowess of Roshan Andrews guiding him, “Koi Shaq” beckons on the horizon. Additionally, an untitled venture opposite Kriti Sanon stands poised for release in December, promising a diverse cinematic palette for Kapoor’s enthusiasts.
