As mid-day reveals the first look of Sharvari and Siddhant in Bunty Aur Babli 2, duo on being suave conmen
Rani and Saif in character
Two days after mid-day revealed the first look of Rani Mukerji and Saif Ali Khan in character in the upcoming film, Bunty Aur Babli 2, we have our hands on the first and exclusive look of co-stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari. The duo joins Mukerji and Khan in the rebooted con franchise, which culminated with the adored characters, Bunty and Babli, getting rid of their unlawful ways. Sharvari, of The Forgotten Army fame, had to imbibe the characteristic traits of Babli, who she describes as intelligent, sassy, and always up for a challenge. In keeping with contemporary trends, her version of the con-woman is tech-savvy — a product of the digital boom.

The actor says, “I was honoured that YRF [Yash Raj Films] saw in me [the potential to play] Babli. She is an iconic character, thanks to Rani ma’am’s incredible act in the first film. I am a fan of her work and hope that I have done justice to the role. Since my character is set in this day and age, I have played it with my own sensibilities. This is my big-screen debut and I am eager to see the responses that my performance evokes.”

Chaturvedi’s Bunty too is versed with technological advancement. Described as a suave and smart conman from the big city, his ability to disguise himself makes him a chameleon, and his digital acumen makes him a master of heists. His avatar of Bunty is in stark contrast to that of Khan, who, while sharp-witted, is unaccustomed to using technology.
“This film is important because it showcases me as a Hindi film hero for the first time,” says the Gully Boy actor. “I have waited for this moment for a while and look forward to seeing the industry’s reaction. It is a huge project to be part of, because we have grown up watching this film’s previous instalment.”
While understanding the psyche of the character was one part of the task at hand, Chaturvedi, who belongs to the state of Uttar Pradesh, did not require prep-work to comprehend the milieu that the film is set in. “I understand the aspirations of the youth hailing from these parts of our country, so, I was sold on the film immediately.” The movie releases on November 19.
