Together, they aim to bring some lightness and quirkiness to the most serious financial conversation of the year.

Commenting on who among celebrities would he discuss the budget announcement with and why, Kunal said in a statement: "I would love to discuss the Union Budget, Railway Budget with Karan Johar because he brings so much to the table in this conversation.

"I'd like to discuss the Railway Budget with him and wait for him to say, ‘No, they can't spend so much'."

On the idea behind a comical take on the budget, Kunal added: "This is a great idea to simplify the budget for everyone and using comedy as a tool for this.
