'Meri Patni Ka Remake': Makers rope in Arjun, Bhumi, Rakul
What's the story
Arjun Kapoor has been in the news ever since the trailer of Ek Villain Returns was unveiled and is being lauded for his slick transformation and acting chops. Now, as per recent reports, he has been roped in for another interesting film, tentatively titled Meri Patni Ka Remake. Helmed by Mudassar Aziz, the movie will also star Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Kapoor is currently working on The Lady Killer, which marks his first collaboration with Pednekar. Moreover, he previously shared the screen with Singh in Netflix's Sardar Ka Grandson. Thus, it will be interesting to see how Kapoor's chemistry with both leading ladies plays out. Aziz previously directed the successful comedy Happy Bhag Jayegi, so his association with the project also seems quite promising.

'The humor will be nostalgic memory of Govinda's comedy'
While the makers haven't officially announced it, a report by Peeping Moon says Aziz is keen on making this comedy, marking the trio's maiden collaboration. Moreover, a previous Pinkvilla report also suggested the "film's humor will be a nostalgic memory of Govinda's comedy from the '90s."
