According to the report, the two actresses Akshay will be seen alongside in the film include Meenakshi Chaudhary and Ayesha Khan, who made headlines with the song "Shararat" from "Dhurandhar." The film will feature a romantic angle between the three.

Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, "Bhaagam Bhaag 2" marks the return of Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. However, Govinda will not be a part of the film this time. Manoj Bajpayee will be the new entry in his place. This time, the story will be completely new and different. However, the makers are trying to maintain the spirit of the original film.
"Bhaagam Bhaag," released in 2006, was directed by Priyadarshan. It was a political satire film starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Govinda. Lara Dutta, Rajpal Yadav, Jackie Shroff, Arbaaz Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Asrani also played important roles. "Bhagam Bhaag" is considered one of Bollywood's cult classic comedy films. Now it remains to be seen whether the makers can recreate the same magic with "Bhagam Bhaag 2."
