Sara Ali Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana Team Up for Mudassar Aziz's Next Comedy: A Promising New Pairing in Bollywood

In what promises to be a laughter-packed cinematic treat, Sara Ali Khan has officially been confirmed as the female lead in Ayushmann Khurrana’s upcoming comedy film, directed by the master of quirky entertainers, Mudassar Aziz. Produced by Bhushan Kumar and Juno Chopra, this still-untitled film is making a lot of noise in Bollywood circles, and rightly so. With a new jodi, an ensemble cast, and a return to vintage comedy forms, this movie is well on its way to being one of the most eagerly awaited entertainers of 2025.

A New Town Comic Couple

Though Ayushmann Khurrana is already feted for his robust comic timing and offbeat film selection, the inclusion of Sara Ali Khan adds a welcome novelty to the screen. This is the first pairing of Ayushmann and Sara, and the buzz surrounding this never-before-imagined jodi is real.

According to a source close to the project, Sara was instantly hooked when she heard the script. “Sara and Ayushmann are a fresh combo in the comic space, and the actress fits the T for the character’s brief. She heard the script, and it was an instant yes from her side for the film,” the source revealed. The duo should provide a perfect blend of youthful exuberance and veteran comic talent, something the fans are ready to witness.

Led by a Comedy Expert

Steering the project is Mudassar Aziz, who has made rib-tickling movies such as Happy Bhaag Jayegi, Pati Patni Aur Woh, and Khel Khel Mein. With his signature style that balances chaos, confusion, and comic relief, Mudassar is bringing back a genre that Bollywood has been missing: the classic ensemble comedy.

A source described the film as “a typical comedy from the era gone by with a multi-star cast, where the lead is stuck in a situation leading to comedy.” In an age where Bollywood comedies are often fused with action or romance, this project stands out for staying true to situational humor and ensemble storytelling.

A Power-Packed Cast

While Sara is confirmed as the lead female face opposite Ayushmann, the film also boasts two more prominent female characters and a strong supporting ensemble. The casting for these roles is currently underway. Known for choosing characters that offer depth and a good comic rhythm, Ayushmann’s involvement further raises expectations.

Given the legacy of films that feature a tangled web of characters and hilarious situations, this one promises to offer a vibrant blend of personalities, unpredictable twists, and feel-good chaos.

Start-to-Finish Schedule Locked

The production for this untitled comic entertainer is all set to begin in August 2025. The producers are aiming for a packed, back-to-back shooting schedule and planning to wrap the shoot by November 2025. This is a lean schedule that reflects good artistic vision and good pre-production planning, which indicates that the team is confident in presenting a polished product.

With Bhushan Kumar and Juno Chopra producing the venture, the movie is supported by industry veterans who understand how to reconcile commercial viability with good storytelling.

A Double Dose of Ayushmann-Sara Chemistry

Interestingly enough, this is not the only project that Sara and Ayushmann are going to be featured in together. The two also feature in a yet-untitled spy comedy being made by Dharma Productions. Already in post-production, that movie should see the big screens during the first quarter of 2026.

This simultaneous debut of the new pairing in two totally different genres, comedy and spy shows, shows great onscreen chemistry between the actors and implies that both audiences and filmmakers are looking forward to seeing them paired together more.

The Comic Renaissance?

In an era where Bollywood has leaned heavily into action, thrillers, and biopics, this film may be part of a potential comic renaissance. With a nostalgic touch to classic ensemble comedies and the infusion of new talent and fresh dynamics, this project aims to deliver more than just laughs; it’s looking to recapture the essence of well-timed, chaotic, family-friendly humor that defined iconic Hindi cinema of the 2000s.

If all goes according to plan, by the end of 2025, fans will be treated to not just a new comic blockbuster but also a promising on-screen duo in Sara Ali Khan and Ayushmann Khurrana, two actors who, until now, had not crossed creative paths.

Final Thoughts

Directed by Mudassar Aziz, produced by Bhushan Kumar and Juno Chopra, and starring a colorful cast that includes Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, this new-age comedy is turning out to be a full-fledged entertainer. The promise of a multi-starrer madhouse comedy, coupled with new casting options and an old-school storyline format, presents a welcome diversion from the prevailing trends of Bollywood.

All eyes are now on August 2025, when the cameras start rolling on this yet-untitled comic caper, and if the early buzz is anything to go by, we’re in for a hearty laugh.
