Saif Ali Khan To Don A Quirky Look In “Bunty Aur Babli 2”

Saif Ali Khan has finally agreed to be a part of Yash Raj Films’ next outing Bunty Aur Babli 2. As the title suggests itself, the movie is a sequel to the 2005 hit Bunty Aur Babli, originally featuring Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji in lead roles.

Saif Ali Khan has replaced Abhishek Bachchan in the sequel, also starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and debutante Sharvari Wagh. The film also stars Rani Mukerji in the lead role and will mark her reunion with her Hum Tum (2004) and Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007) co-star Saif Ali Khan after a massive gap of 11 years.

Saif Ali Khan, who was last seen in Colour Yellow Productions’ Laal Kaptaan (2019), will not just play the lead role in Bunty Aur Babli 2, but will don a very quirky look also. Spilling some more beans, a source close to the development tells a publication that his look will be very different from what Abhishek Bachchan’s look was in the first part of the franchise. Abhishek played a young character while Saif Ali Khan’s character is much older and mature in the redux, hence the new look.

Bunty Aur Babli 2 was originally offered to Abhishek Bachchan as the makers wanted to retain the original pair in the sequel. However, when Junior Bachchan did not accept the offer, the makers went ahead with Saif Ali Khan.

Rani Mukerji says that she would miss Abhishek in the sequel. She says that the original Bunty Aur Babli got tremendous love and appreciation and hence YRF decided to make the sequel. Abhishek and she were both approached by YRF to reprise their roles as the originals in Bunty Aur Babli 2 but, unfortunately, things did not work out with Abhishek Bachchan and the team will miss him dearly.
