The Original’s Legacy
In 2006, the Dibakar Banerjee directed Khosla Ka Ghosla starring Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Vijay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey and Pravin Dabas turned out to be a surprise success at the box office, and over the years gained a cult status for its dark and situational comedy.
The film went ahead to win a National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi at the 54th National Film Award. The movie has gained tremendous traction on digital and satellite platforms, with its characters becoming household names among Indian audiences.
Script and Development Progress
According to sources close to the development, Umesh Bist and team have cracked a script that’s an extension of the Khosla Ka Ghosla world. “Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 script is locked and 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,” revealed a source to Pinkvilla.
The sequel promises to retain the original’s signature dark comedy and situational humor that made it a beloved classic among Indian cinema enthusiasts.
Huma Qureshi’s Involvement
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.
This addition to Huma’s impressive filmography comes alongside her existing commitments to Jolly LLB 3 and Maharani 4, showcasing her busy schedule and growing demand in the industry.
Original Cast Status
While Huma Qureshi’s casting appears confirmed, we are still to hear on the involvement of Anupam Kher and Boman Irani in Khosla Ka Ghosla 2. The return of the original ensemble cast would certainly add to the sequel’s appeal among longtime fans.
The uncertainty around the original cast’s involvement creates anticipation about how the sequel will connect to the beloved characters from the first film.
Huma’s Current Projects
“Huma has also started her own production house with brother, Saqib Salim and the first film, Baby Do Die Do is scheduled to release soon,” indicating her expanding role as both actor and producer.
She is also a part of the Geethu Mohandas directed Toxic which is scheduled to arrive during the Eid 2026 weekend, making 2026 a particularly busy year for the versatile actress.
