R Madhavan replaces Abhishek Bachchan in Bunty Aur Babli sequel

The lead cast for this film will be Gully Boy Siddhant Chaturvedi and newcomer Sharvari Wagh.

R. Madhavan had replaced Abhishek Bachchan in the web-series Breathe, and Madhavan also replaced Abhishek in Simmba, only to be replaced by Sonu Sood later. And now, Madhavan will also replace Abhishek in the Bunty Aur Babli sequel.

Bunty Aur Babli was made as a con comedy in 2005 and starred Rani Mukerji and Abhishek in lead roles, with Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai stepping in for the iconic but smaller roles. “The lead cast for this film will be Gully Boy Siddhant Chaturvedi and newcomer Sharvari Wagh. Earlier, Rani and Abhishek were to play extended cameos in the film, but Abhi has stepped out and Madhavan has stepped in especially with Shaad (Ali) not directing the film,” says a trade source.

The sequel is said to be directed by Varun V. Sharma, who was earlier a chief assistant director to Ali Abbas Zafar in Tiger Zinda Hai, apart from being a part of the script team in Bharat and Sultan apart from Shaad’s Kill Dil.
