Prime Video is all set to add another blockbuster to its lineup with the global streaming premiere of Bad Newz, the hilarious romantic-comedy featuring a stellar cast including Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk. The film, which initially hit theaters on July 19, 2024, has entertained audiences with its unique premise and is now set to bring the laughter and chaos to the streaming world, starting from September 13.
A Sequel with a Twist
Building on the comedic charm of Good Newz, Bad Newz delves into the rarely explored phenomenon of heteropaternal superfecundation — where a woman’s eggs are fertilized by the sperm of two different men during the same ovulation cycle. Inspired by true events, this fascinating and funny concept drives the plot, introducing viewers to a whirlwind of drama, romance, and rivalry.
The film centers around Saloni Bagga (played by Triptii Dimri), an aspiring chef who receives the shock of her life when she discovers she is pregnant with twins from two different fathers — Akhil Chadha (played by Vicky Kaushal) and Gurbir Singh Pannu (played by Ammy Virk). What follows is a madcap battle between the two men as they compete for Saloni’s love and try to navigate the absurd yet heartfelt situations that arise from this quirky predicament.
Fresh Faces and Stellar Performances
Bad Newz brings together a fresh and exciting pairing in the form of Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk. Vicky, known for his versatility, steps into the shoes of Akhil, while Ammy brings his comedic charm as Gurbir. Triptii, as Saloni, offers a captivating performance that seamlessly blends comedy with emotion. Their chemistry is one of the film’s highlights, adding to the entertainment factor.
The film is further elevated by its talented supporting cast, including Neha Dhupia, Sheeba Chaddha, Neha Sharma, Vijaylaxmi Singh, and Faisal Rashid. Neha Sharma makes a noteworthy cameo appearance that adds an extra spark to the film’s narrative.
