Pankaj Tripathi is playing a cop in the film. He earlier told PTI, "In the film, the new Bunty Aur Babli are tech-savvy. The old con couple had an old world set-up. In this new digital age, in a bid to earn quick money some people, unfortunately, get trapped. It is the right time to come up with a film like this."
Saif Ali Khan is stepping in Abhishek Bachchan's shoes for the film. In an earlier statement, Saif had said, "Bunty Aur Babli 2 is a completely rebooted sequel and is set in today’s time. It is a fantastic script that hooked me on instantly. It is an out and out entertainer for the entire family to sit and enjoy, and this is what I loved and connected with. Also, it is a new role, language and milieu and that’s what I really look for in a script. I also love the dynamics between the originals and the new Bunty and Babli in the film. It is fresh, hilarious and extremely engaging. Rani and I have always had a lot of fun working with each other, and I am looking forward to our creative collaboration again. It is also equally amazing to be back home at YRF again."
The cast of the film recently appeared on shows like The Kapil Sharma Show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 and The Big Picture.
