Abhishek will be missed on sets - says Rani
The movie had an open ending, making it a good choice for a sequel. More than a decade later, earlier this year, the official makers of the movie announced a sequel of the movie. Intrigued by the news, Bollywood fans had been speculating the movie’s cast ever since. There was news that Abhishek and Rani would be returning for the movie’s remake. But recently, Rani Mukerji announced that though she has signed up for the sequel, Abhishek would not be joining the sets. The official news regarding the cast reveals that Abhishek has been replaced by Saif Ali Khan. Rani Mukerji further clarified that the production team had approached both Abhishek and her, but things did not work out between him and YRF. She added that they will miss him on the set.

It has been official that for the lead cast, Siddhant Chaturvedi has been roped in. Siddhant is cast opposite Sharvari, who would be making her Bollywood debut with this movie. The movie will be directed by Varun V. Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra.
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.
