Vicky Kaushal is currently experiencing a surge in popularity due to superb success of his recent films, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke and Sam Bahadurwhich became a surprise hits at the Indian box office. On the other hand Triptii Dimri has become ‘national crush’ with stupendous success of Animal. So it is obvious that a film starring both of them will be red hot in trade.
Karan Johar revealed recently title of upcoming comedy of Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk starrer. The film, which was earlier titled Rola was shot last year. It was earlier slated to release in August 2023 but later postponed to February 2024. But again it’s postponed. There were rumours that film will be titled Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam.
makers have recently announced title as well as release date of the film today with a fun video. Film is titled Bad Newz and is slated to release on 19th July 2024.
Novelty Of Plot Of Bad Newz
While the posters released in March showed Dimri sporting a baby bump, mid-day has now learnt that director Anand Tiwari’s comedy revolves around the rare medical condition, heteropaternal superfecundation.
A source tells us that like director Raj Mehta’s Good Newwz (2019), its spiritual sequel too has pregnancy as the central conflict. “While Good Newwz was about accidental sperm swap, Bad Newz is based on a medical condition called heteropaternal superfecundation, where a woman gets pregnant with twins from different men. The film is based on a true incident,” the source says.
In the comedy, the actor will be seen romancing both Kaushal and Virk. More importantly, her character marks a stark departure from her submissive role in Animal. It’s also her first light-hearted part after back-to-back intense portrayals of an ill-fated lover in Laila Majnu (2018), a woman seeking revenge in Bulbbul (2020), and a singer battling depression in Qala (2022). “Triptii will be seen as a mainstream leading lady for the first time. Like Dharma heroines, she plays today’s woman, an ambitious chef, who can go to any lengths to further her career,” adds the source.
Upcoming Films Of Triptii Dimri
It’s evident that Dimri is consciously steering towards mainstream cinema this year. The actor has the horror comedy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 with Kartik Aaryan, and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video opposite Rajkummar Rao in the pipeline. That, however, doesn’t mean she has bid adieu to intense stories.
The actor, along with Siddhant Chaturvedi, will front Johar’s yet-untitled romantic drama, helmed by Shazia Iqbal. From what we hear, it’s a profound love story set against the backdrop of the caste system. “The film is a remake of the Tamil hit, Pariyerum Perumal [2018]. It is currently in post-production. The makers are contemplating titling it Dhadak 2, as a spiritual sequel to Janhvi Kapoor-Ishaan Khatter’s Dhadak [2018], which explored class difference.”
About Bad Newz
Bad Newz revolves around love, relationships, and the complexities of modern romance. Set against picturesque backdrops, the film promises to take audiences on an emotional rollercoaster.
In 2022, Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri were shooting in Croatia, capturing beautiful moments for the film. Old pictures from their shoot have been circulating on the internet, adding to the anticipation.
Bad Newz marks the second collaboration between Vicky Kaushal and director Anand Tiwari. Their previous venture, Love per Square Foot (2018), received critical acclaim. Film is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Prime Video and Amritpal Bindra.
