Apart from Ayushmann, Badhaai Ho also starred Sanya Malhotra, Gajraj Rao, and Neena Gupta. The movie traced the story of a couple expecting a child in their 50s, thus embarrassing their children. Badhaai Ho was a blockbuster at the box office, entering the Rs 100-crore club. The sequel would be helmed by Harshavardhan Kulkarni, while Akshat Ghildial, who was one of the writers of the previous film, is one of the only constants on both ventures.

In the film, Rajkummar will essay the role of a Delhi cop, who is the only male police officer in a mahila thana, while Bhumi will play the role of a school PT teacher. The 2018 film Badhaai Ho, directed by Amit Sharma, was a story of a middle-aged couple (Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao) who get pregnant. The film also starred Surekha Sikri, who won the best supporting actor honour at the 2019 National Awards for her role in the film.

Meanwhile, Rajkummar is about to start shooting for his next untitled film with Kriti Sanon in Chandigarh. The team recently jetted off to Chandigarh where the filming will commence from October 30. The film will be directed by Abhishek Jain and will feature an ensemble star cast including Aparshakti Khurana, Paresh Rawal, and Ratna Pathak in pivotal roles
