Bijli, is the same tiger in the film which helps the Fukrey gang find the treasure worth Rs 10 crore!

Actress Richa Chadda said: “I had lots of fun portraying the character of Bholi Punjaban. It's completely opposite to my personality which made it even more exciting. She is like a wounded tigress. Speaking of which, we visited the Delhi zoo to celebrate Bijli ka birthday. Bijli helped us find treasure worth Rs 10 crore in the movie, so we owed her one. I am from Delhi so chidiyaghar is my favourite childhood hangout place. My school is very close to it, so we would come here all the time.”

The movie Fukrey Returns which made a whopping 100 crores at the box office picks up a year later from where it ended. Having enjoyed the spoils of war they had so audaciously waged, the Fukras are now at crossroads with their past, which is about to decide their future. Bent upon a merciless payback, Bholi Punjaban is back and all set to take the Fukras on a deadly ride!
