Both con couples in Bunty Aur Babli 2 are very intelligent, says Rani Mukerji

Along with dollops of humour, the recently released trailer for Bunty Aur Babli 2 showed the four artistes — Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari — in various avatars.

Speaking of the advancement in prosthetics today, Khan said in a statement, “Films on con jobs have historically had great disguises and that's half the fun. Nowadays we have prosthetics and make-up of a different level so people can expect really amazing get-ups and disguises from the cast and doing all that was a lot of fun.”

Explaining how the four characters use their disguises in the Yash Raj Films production, Mukerji said, “Both sets of con couples are extremely intelligent. They are the best when it comes to wearing disguises because they are the best at conning people with this skill. In this film, they come face-to-face with one another and it’s a battle to watch out for!”

This is the first time Chaturvedi has tried something like this. “I have played so many avatars in just one film!" the Gully Boy (2019) actor said. "When you do a film like Bunty Aur Babli, you promise people that they will get to see the lead actors in disguises to pull off elaborate cons and this film will over-deliver (sic) in this regard.”

This film is Sharvari's debut in Hindi cinema. Sharing her experience, she said, “I have been extremely fortunate to get a dream debut in Bunty Aur Babli 2. You don’t often get projects in which you play so many roles. I was determined to perform each one of them convincingly because the audience needs to be invested in the disguise so that they enjoy the con thoroughly. I had the best time getting into these looks/avatars like a complete shifter and just putting my best foot forward.” 

Directed by Varun V Sharma, Bunty Aur Babli 2 will be released in theatres on 19 November.
