Anees Bazmee and Ayushmann Khurrana
mid-day had reported that Ayushmann Khurrana is teaming up with director Anees Bazmee for a horror comedy titled Bhootiyapa (Setting a date with spirits, April 10). Now, rumours are rife that the actor and the director, who have been keen on working together, are yet to lock on the subject. “At this point, it is not known if the project is a horror comedy, the double-role film that Shahid Kapoor was supposed to do, or an entirely different subject,” says a source. Nonethless, the informer maintains that in keeping with Bazmee’s forte, the movie will have a good mix of humour, romance and drama. Incidentally, this project marks Ayushmann’s fourth collaboration with Junglee Pictures, after Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), Badhaai Ho (2018) and Doctor G (2022). Ayushmann is slated to commence work on Karan Johar and Guneet Monga’s spy comedy in July, followed by a vampire comedy with Samantha, and Vikramaditya Motwane’s biopic on former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly. Bazmee is currently working on Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and is scheduled to commence No Entry Mein Entry in December. So, it remains to be seen which film will they eventually team up for.
