Twist in the tale… #SiddhantChaturvedi and #Sharvari are the new #BuntyAurBabli… Now, with the original #BuntyAurBabli [#SaifAliKhan, #RaniMukerji] also back in the franchise, it will be interesting to see the dynamics between the two #Bunty and #Babli.

#Rani’s official statement on #AbhishekBachchan and #BuntyAurBabli2: “#Abhishek and I were both approached by #YRF to reprise our roles as the originals in #BuntyAurBabli2 but, unfortunately, things didn’t work out with him and we will miss him dearly.”

Though Abhishek starred in the original film he couldn’t feature in the sequel.

Bunty Aur Babli 2 will be helmed and written by Varun Sharma.
