Ayushmann Khurrana signs a new comedy with Bhushan Kumar and Juno Chopra. The film starts shooting in September 2025 and promises a quirky, laugh-out-loud ride.
After lighting up the box office with Dream Girl 2 and gearing up for his Diwali release Thama, Ayushmann Khurrana is now preparing to dive into a new genre with a full-blown comedy. The actor, who has long been admired for his versatility and sharp comic timing, has reportedly signed an upcoming family comedy backed by Bhushan Kumar and Juno Chopra, the producers behind Pati Patni Aur Woh.
According to a Pinkvilla report, the film will be a quirky blend of situational humor and slapstick madness, something Ayushmann has been keen to explore. “It’s an out-and-out comedy for Ayushmann Khurrana. The actor has been looking to do a film in this genre for a while now and has finally found a script that strikes the right balance,” revealed a source close to the project.
While the film’s title and director remain tightly under wraps, casting is already underway, with the producers looking to rope in a stellar ensemble of seasoned performers and leading ladies. The film is set to go on floors in September 2025, with a start-to-finish schedule planned.
“The makers are keeping things low-key for now, but the script is locked, and casting has begun quietly. A director known for delivering commercial comedy hits is likely to helm the film,” added the source.
This film will slot between Ayushmann’s other major ventures, including the Aditya Satpodar-directed Thama (which is part of Dinesh Vijan’s horror-comedy universe) and his spy-comedy with Dharma Productions, co-starring Sara Ali Khan, scheduled for a 2026 release.
Once he wraps up the comedy caper, Ayushmann will shift gears for a more emotional project — a family dramedy with none other than Prem specialist Sooraj Barjatya. “That film goes on floors in November. Ayushmann is beyond thrilled to work with Sooraj Barjatya and play a ‘Prem-like’ role — it’s a dream come true. He’s already allotted bulk dates to Rajshri Productions,” the source confirmed.
With a packed slate of diverse genres — from spooky thrills to heartfelt drama and laugh-out-loud comedy — Ayushmann Khurrana is poised to deliver something for everyone in the coming years.
