Mumbai : Acclaimed Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao believes that his upcoming film Bhul Chook Maaf is a comedy unlike anything the Hindi film industry has produced before. Directed by Karan Sharma and backed by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, this unique time-loop-based romantic comedy also stars Wamiqa Gabbi in a lead role.
Set in the vibrant backdrop of Varanasi, Bhul Chook Maaf revolves around the story of Ranjan (Rajkummar Rao) and Titli (Wamiqa Gabbi). Ranjan secures a government job to marry the love of his life, Titli. But just as their wedding approaches, a strange twist unfolds — their big day keeps getting stuck in a time loop. The couple remains trapped on the 29th of the month, while the wedding is scheduled for the 30th. What follows is a hilarious and emotional ride as chaos erupts in their lives, promising wholesome family entertainment.
A Film with Heart, Humor, and Freshness
While promoting the film in Patna, Rajkummar Rao expressed his deep admiration for the story and its execution.
“Bhul Chook Maaf is a truly remarkable film. Director Karan Sharma has written a brilliantly fresh narrative. I genuinely feel that Bollywood hasn’t seen a comedy like this before. It’s a family entertainer with the perfect blend of humor and emotion,” said Rao.
Known for his versatility, Rao emphasized his desire to experiment across genres and connect with audiences through diverse storytelling.
Wamiqa Gabbi Calls It a Dream Experience
Actress Wamiqa Gabbi, who shares the screen with Rajkummar Rao for the first time, shared her excitement about working with Maddock Films, known for delivering hits like Stree, Bala, and Luka Chuppi.
“It was a fantastic experience working with Maddock Films. I was nervous initially about acting opposite Rajkummar Rao, who is such a phenomenal performer. But we’ve all come together to create something special. Even my parents have seen Bhul Chook Maaf and they absolutely loved it. I hope the audience showers it with the same love,” said Gabbi.
Director Karan Sharma Lauds the Cast’s Dedication
Director Karan Sharma praised his cast and crew for their tireless efforts, especially while filming in extreme conditions.
“We shot under 50-degree heat, and yet, not a single complaint came from anyone on set. Rajkummar, Wamiqa, and every artist brought incredible energy and passion. Audiences will definitely enjoy the chemistry between Rajkummar and Wamiqa,” he stated.
An Ensemble Cast and a Unique Release
The film also features Sanjay Mishra, Seema Pahwa, Zakir Hussain, and Raghubir Yadav, all known for their strong screen presence and comic timing.
Bhul Chook Maaf is slated to release in theatres on May 23, 2025, and is expected to strike a chord with families looking for a light-hearted yet emotionally rich cinema experience.
With its unusual premise and a stellar team, Bhul Chook Maaf could well become Bollywood’s next cult comedy.
