The talented and versatile Rajkummar Rao will next be seen Anurag Basu’s Ludo, which is a Diwali Netflix offering!
He is reuniting with Bareilly Ki Barfi co-star Kriti Sanon for a crazy comedy titled, ‘Hum Do Humare Do’. From comedy, remake to thriller, here’s his project pipeline:
1) Hum Do Humare Do
As reported by Pinkvilla, this film was rumoured to be titled Second Innings first. However, Hum Do Humare Do has been locked as the title.
It will have Rajkummar and Kriti playing orphans who adopt parents. Paresh Rawal and Dimple Kapadia will be seen as the older couple who end up wreaking havoc.
“It revolves around a married couple who decide to adopt parents and how they together create havoc in their otherwise blissful marriage is what the crazy comedy is about. While Second Innings did sound catchy, the makers wanted a more suitable title for the film’s novel idea. They are calling the film Hum Do Humare Do.”
Both Kriti and Rajkummar have flown off to Chandigarh to commence shooting for the same.
2) Roohi Afzana
As per Mumbai Mirror report, Rajkummar has wrapped up the shooting of Hardik Mehta’s horror-comedy, which is a part of the Shraddha Kapoor-starrer Stree universe.

Rajkummar will essay the role of a Delhi cop, the only male cop in a mahila thana (woman police station), while Bhumi will play the role of a school PT teacher, who aspires to represent Team India in handball.
“That film is currently in prep, and for now, Raj is following a 60-day per film policy,” a source told Mumbai Mirror.
4) Chupke Chupke
Rajkummar will also be seen in the remake of the 1975 cult classic – Chupke Chupke. He is essaying Dharmendra’s role from the original.
