Actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar are back with their third film after delivering back to back hits — Dum Laga Ke Haisha and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan. The actors have been roped in for Stree-fame director Amar Kaushik’s next titled Bala.
Ayushmann and Bhumi, who are great friends off-screen, can’t wait to start their next journey together. The two have been lucky together on the box-office as both of their films were not only hailed by critics but also became hits at the box office.
“Bhumi and I have a great chemistry together because of our equation and I’m glad audiences also loved us in our previous two films which became big hits. Being a hit jodi definitely adds to the pressure of delivering good work and I’m extremely confident that Bala’s script will connect with audiences across the world given its universal theme,” Ayushmann said in a statement.
“Bhumi is an exceptionally talented actress and it is always fun to work with her. We have previously given people something new and quirky to see and Bala will not be an exception because of its storyline. I’m hoping audiences will give us as much love in our third film together,” he added.
To this Bhumi said, “Ayushmann and I love slice of life films and I’m super excited to collaborate with him for the third time. We have been loved immensely in our previous two films and it gives me a lot of confidence that with Bala, we will again give people another fun film to watch. I think audiences expect our pairing to do off-centre, quirky films and it’s a great equity to carry forward with Bala, a film that again takes on societal stereotypes in a hilarious manner. Ayushmann is a powerhouse actor and he always gets the best out of me. So, I can’t wait to start the film.”
The first schedule of Bala will from first week of May.
