After wrapping the children’s sports film Murga Trophy, Chandan Anand and Ravi Narmulla of SceneWork Productions and Mukesh Giri of Giriraj Productions are teaming up for a situational comedy that blends social commentary with the chaos of Delhi’s traffic jams, with Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha stepping in to make the sparks fly.

Directed by Shashie Vermaa, the film is not just set in Delhi — the place itself is a character. Billed as a sharp, fast-paced comedy with a satirical edge, it promises to make audiences laugh first and wince a moment later. The film also stars Kumud Mishra and Dinesh Lal Yadav in pivotal roles.

Talking about the film, Vermaa says, “This is a story that celebrates people, relationships, the lens of society and the chaos that a small moment can bring in someone’s life. Delhi itself is almost a character in the film. Having performers like Ali, Richa and Kumud brings depth, spontaneity and heart to the world we’ve created, and I can’t wait to begin filming.”

The film is set to go on floors later this year with a theatrical release in 2027.

After winning audiences over in the Fukrey franchise, Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha are set to reunite on screen for an untitled situational comedy directed by Shashie Vermaa. Set against the colourful chaos of Delhi and co-starring Kumud Mishra, the film will go on floors in the second half of 2026.

In a joint statement, Fazal and Chadha said, “The film has a very organic sense of humour that comes from its characters and the world they inhabit. That’s what made it stand out for us. It’s also the first time we’re sharing the screen as an on-screen pair, which made saying yes even more exciting. We’re looking forward to bringing this story to life with Shashie Vermaa, whose vision and writing give the film a distinct voice.”

Vermaa described the film as “a situational comedy carrying a strong social message”, adding that Delhi is central to the story, with Ali and Richa playing a humble middle-class couple.
