Shoojit Sircar Casts Big B & Ayushmann Khurrana In His Next “Gulabo Sitabo”

Renowned filmmaker Shoojit Sircar is set to team up with megastar Amitabh Bachchan and immensely talented Ayushmann Khurrana once again. The director has just announced his next project Gulabo Sitabo, which will feature Big B and Khurrana in lead roles.

Gulabo Sitabo will be Shoojit Sircar’s second collaboration with Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana. The award-winning filmmaker launched Khurrana in Bollywood with his 2011 film Vicky Donor. He then joined forces with Senior Bachchan for his 2015 directorial Piku, also starring Deepika Padukone in the lead role.

Written by well-known screenwriter Juhi Chaturvedi, Gulabo Sitabo brings Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana together for the first time. Both actors are known for their brilliant acting abilities and that makes this new venture even more exciting.

Shoojit Sircar has teamed up with his frequent collaborators Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar to bankroll the project. According to reports, the team is planning to begin production next month in Lucknow. The film will buzz into theatres in November this year.

Talking about screenwriter Juhi Chaturvedi, who has written a majority of his films, Shoojit says the new project has her trademark quirk.

The filmmaker adds that as he shared the script with Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana, both readily agreed to come onboard.

Meanwhile, Shoojit Sircar is presently busy shooting his next directorial, Udham Singh. The film stars rising star Vicky Kaushal in the lead role. Amitabh Bachchan, on the other hand, is shooting for his next Chehre with Emraan Hashmi. Ayushmann Khurrana has just started filming his next Bala, wherein he plays the male lead opposite Yami Gautam.
