“Pagglait” fame Umesh Bist to helm Khosla Ka Ghosla 2
Last month, reports revealed that a sequel to Khosla Ka Ghosla released in 2006 is on the cards and that Huma Qureshi is in talks to play the lead role. But sources reveal of some interesting aspects on this exciting project.
Dibakar Banerjee’s Khosla Ka Ghosla was his first directorial venture. However, he won’t be helming the sequel. Umesh Bist
who made much loved Pagglait released in 2021, featuring Sanya Malhotra, and who also directed the 2024 acclaimed Zee5 show Gyaarah Gyaarah, has stepped in as the director of Khosla Ka Ghosla 2.”
The source further said, that the makers are confident of Umesh Bist’s directional abilities. He managed to get the dark humour aspect correctly in Pagglait and also excelled in the emotional scenes. Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 also has wicked humour and a family angle and hence, they feel that Umesh will surely do justice.
As for the casting, the source revealed that Huma Qureshi was in talks, but the talk hasn’t materialized and she’s no longer doing the film. A hunt is on for the female lead.
However, Boman Irani, who played the antagonist in Khosla Ka Ghosla, has come on board. In an interview Boman Irani confirmed that he’s doing the film and also stated that he is much elated for the sequel. And for the first time and after a long time, he is fearful. They don’t want to make a weak effort to ruin a legacy, they need to put in hard work to maintain that legacy of the film that it stood for.
About Khosla Ka Ghosla, the first part tells the story of Kamal Kishore Khosla (Anupam Kher), who lives with his family in Delhi. He invests his hard-earned money, amounting to Rs. 30 lakhs, to buy a plot of land in South Delhi. Trouble arises when a powerful builder, Kishan Khurana (Boman Irani), usurps this plot of land and agrees to transfer it to Khosla’s name only if he pays him Rs. 15 lakhs. This is when Khosla’s sons and family friends come up with a novel and amusing plan to teach Khurana a lesson.
