Ayushmann and Bhumi have earlier co-starred in blockbusters like Dum Laga Ke Haisha and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan. The upcoming film marks their third collaboration together.
Ayushmann is also reuniting with his Vicky Donor co-star Yami Gautam. Vicky Donor marked the Bollywood debut for both the actors. Directed by Amar Kaushik, Bala will be a quirky laugh riot. It will be produced by Dinesh Vijan.
Amar is known for directing the 2018 hit film Stree, featuring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. In Bala, Ayushmann will play the role of a man who balds maturely and Bhumi will play the role of a dusky small-town girl at odds with a society that is obsessed with fair skin.
According to Indian film critic Taran Adarsh, the film also stars Saurabh Shukla, Jaaved Jaaferi, and Seema Pahwa. The laugh riot is expected to hit the big screens in September 2019.
