Wamiqa Gabbi & Rajkummar Rao’s ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ gets a release date!
The film was originally planned for an April release but has now been pushed to May—maybe Rajkummar’s character is stuck in a time loop off-screen too!
Wamiqa Gabbi is taking over fans’ hearts with her role in ‘Atlee’s ‘Baby John’ starring Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Jacky Shroff. Currently, the actress is busy working on Priyadarshan’s ‘Bhooth Bangla’ with Akshay Kumar and Tabu. Now, reports suggest that she is the top contender for the role of the female lead in Ranveer Singh’s ‘Shaktimaan’-inspired film. Expectations are high with the project given the solid source material and the nostalgia attached to the iconic superhero.
Mid-Day reported the news of the actress being in talks for the film. The report stated that Wamiqa Gabbi is the leading choice for ‘Minnal Murali’ director Basil Joseph’s ambitious superhero project. The high-stakes adaptation project has been already making waves. The latest report of Wamiqa’s casting has upped the anticipation meter, promising a fresh and tantalising pairing.

The source close to the production added, “While discussions are still ongoing, the potential pairing of Wamiqa and Ranveer in Basil’s film would bring a fresh dynamic to a project that’s been in development for five years.” Though no official confirmation is available at the moment, insiders report that pre-production is underway. “Once the script is locked and schedules are finalized, the casting will be confirmed.” The source iterated that Ranveer Singh will start with the project after he wraps up Aditya Dhar’s spy-thriller.
