In the photo, both Bhumi and Rajkummar are seen all decked up in their wedding finery over their professional clothes of a cop and a PT teacher, respectively. While the makers are keeping a lid on the plot details, here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming film.
A spiritual sequel
The makers of Badhaai Do have been marketing the movie as a spiritual successor to Badhaai Ho, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao, Surekha Sikri and Sanya Malhotra. While time will only tell if the supporting cast has been retained for the new film, for now, Badhaai Do looks like a fresh feature with Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar leading the team.
Batana bhi hai aur chupaana bhi, what do you think this secret could be?

The characters
As of now, we know that Rajkummar plays a police officer in Badhaai Do, while Bhumi will be seen as a PT teacher. We even know the names of their characters. Bhumi plays Sumi, while Rajkummar will be seen portraying Shardul Thakur in Badhaai Do. Sometime back, Rao had shared a sneak peek of his physical transformation for the role. Sharing a picture of himself, he had written, “#ShardulThakur in #BadhaaiDo. Being a pure vegetarian and to strictly avoid any kind of steroids, it wasn’t easy to get this transformation but nothing seems impossible when you love what you do. #BadhaaiDo is a film which is really close to my heart and we had a blast shooting this film.”
