! Ayushmann Khurrana is all set to star in a new film, which
also features Dangal actress Sanya Malhotra. Amit Sharma, the director of the film, shared the news of his upcoming movie, titled
Badhaai Ho, on social media with a photo, also featuring Ayushmann.
Badhaai Ho is Ayushmann Khurrana's second film with Junglee pictures. In the pictures shared by the makers of the film, Ayushmann and film's director Amit are seen happily posing with the clapboard. It was just last year, Ayushmann Khurrana received great appreciation for his entertaining performances in films like
Bareilly Ki Barfi (also starring Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao) and
Shubh Mangal Savdhaan with Bhumi Pednekar. This is what director Amit Sharma tweeted about
Badhaai Ho.
Earlier, sharing his excitement about working in the film and with Junglee Pictures once again, Ayushmann had told the Reuters: "I had a fantastic experience collaborating with Junglee Pictures for
Bareilly Ki Barfi and working with them on
Badhaai Ho is going to be exciting. The story that Amit tells is typically Indian with dollops of quirky humour. I look forward to a family film that is both innovative and entertaining."
Ayushmann Khurrana made his Bollywood debut with Shoojit Sircar's
Vicky Donor, which was based on the topic of sperm donation. Ayushmann received Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut for the film. He also starred in
Dum Laga Ke Haisha, which was a box office success while Sanya Malhotra made her full-fledged Bollywood debut with Aamir Khan's 2016
Dangal, which turned out to be a huge success not only in India but also overseas. Soon after
Dangal's blockbuster status, Sanya's co-star Fatima Sana Shaikh was roped in for another Aamir Khan movie -
Thugs Of Hindostan - but there was no word on Sanya's upcoming projects. Sanya also has a film with Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the pipeline, to be directed by Ritesh Batra.
