Badhaai Do: Rajkummar Rao to play a cop, Bhumi Pednekar a PT teacher with national dreams in this film ‘with a big heart’
Hindustan TimesAyushmann Khurrana starrer Badhaai Ho went on to become a major hit in 2018 and also won critical acclaim. Featuring Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles, the film will be as quirky and as much a family drama as the first film, claims the film’s director Harshavardhan Kulkarni. The shoot of Badhaai Do, starring Bhumi Pednekar and Rajkummar Rao, will commence from January 2021. Harshvardhan said how “every story has to have a heart and Badhaai Do has a very big heart.” In Badhaai Do, while Bhumi will be seen playing a PT teacher who aspires to play handball for the country, Rajkummar will play a tough cop. I am happy to reconnect with the audience on special occasion of Badhaai Ho anniversary, the film was an absolute delight and one of my most favourites.” Bhumi Pednekar, who saw the release of her film Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare during the lockdown, is currently working on her film Durgavati.
