Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 is in the works with Huma Qureshi likely joining the cast. The film starts shooting by end of 2025 for a 2026 release. Khosla Ka Ghosla, starring Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, and Parvin Dabas, is one of the most loved movies, and its slow success surprised everyone, eventually earning it cult status. The film even won a National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi at the 54th National Film Awards. Now, it looks like there's some happy news for movie lovers—a report states that the makers have planned a prequel to the film. Yes, you read it right! As per a report in Pinkvilla, the makers have finally locked the script, and Umesh Bisht, along with his team, is planning to kickstart the shoot by the end of 2025. The portal quoted a source saying, 'Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 script is locked and is presently in the casting stage. The team is aiming to start by November this year, for a 2026 release. Much like the first part, this one too is an outright comic entertainer." Well, that's not all. The report also claimed that the team has already locked its leading lady, and it's none other than Huma Qureshi. 'Huma has come on board as one of the main characters of Khosla Ka Ghosla 2. She heard the script and loved what is on paper. The film will most likely be produced by T-Series, and the modalities are being worked out at the moment," the source added. While an official announcement is still awaited, it is said that Anupam Kher and Boman Irani are also involved in the making of the film. Meanwhile, Huma Qureshi's upcoming film Bayaan has earned a prestigious spot at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festiva l. It will be showcased in the Discovery Section, and notably, it's the only Indian film to be selected in that category this year. Directed by Bikas Ranjan Mishra, Bayaan is a gripping police thriller that follows a woman entangled in a system steeped in power dynamics, religious overtones, and institutional silence. Huma takes on a challenging lead role that reflects her continued shift toward intense, socially rooted narratives. The film also features seasoned actors Chandrachur Singh and Sachin Khedekar in pivotal roles. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
