Bhumi Pednekar and Ayushmann Khurrana
DNA (May 3, 2019)

Ayushmann Khurrana, one of the most talented names in Hindi cinema, will reunite with his lucky-mascot, the versatile Bhumi Pednekar this week. This celebrated actor duo,  who won rave notices for Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015) and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017) is getting together for Bala, which is being helmed by Amar Kaushik (of Stree fame). Both their earlier outings proved to be box-office winners and the actors are hoping to pull off a hat-trick.

Ayushmann says, “Bhumi and I have great chemistry together because of our equation. I’m glad audiences loved us in our previous two films, which became big hits. Being a hit jodi definitely adds to the pressure of delivering good work and I’m confident that our new film’s script will connect with a global audience, given its universal theme. Bhumi is an exceptionally talented actress and it’s always fun to work with her.  I’m hoping our third movie gets as much love as the previous two.”

Bhumi, on her part, says, “Ayushmann and I love slice-of-life films. I’m super excited to collaborate with him for the third time. We have been loved immensely in our previous two movies. I’m confident Bala will once again prove to be a fun watch. People expect our pairing to do quirky projects. Bala is a movie that takes on societal stereotypes in a hilarious manner. Ayushmann is a powerhouse actor, a great co-star and he always gets the best out of me.” Bala should roll any day now.
