‘Bad Newz’ trailer promises hilarious chaos

Get ready for a paternity pandemonium! The trailer for Dharma Productions' latest comedy, Bad Newz, just dropped, and it promises a side-splitting ride.

This quirky film takes a hilarious detour from the usual rom-com tropes, diving into the chaotic world of heteropaternal superfecundation--yes, that's a fancy way of saying two dads, one mom, and one bun in the oven!


The trailer stars Bollywood heartthrobs Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk as two men on very different paths to fatherhood.

Enter Triptii Dimri, the firecracker caught in the middle of this unexpected double paternity.

The movie will also star Neha Dhupia as per the trailer.

The clip hints at a whirlwind of confusion, hilarious misunderstandings, and the undeniable chemistry between the lead trio.

From hospital mix-ups to awkward family dinners, the trailer is a laugh-a-minute preview.

The trailer also features a remix version of the hit song 'Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam,' from the 1998 comedy-action film Duplicate, starring superstar Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, and Sonali Bendre in lead roles.

The audience can see Vicky Kaushal, struggling to come to terms with his new reality. Whereas Ammy Virk brings his signature brand of humour to the table.

And Dimri holds her own, playing the bewildered yet determined woman at the center of it all.

Directed by Anand Tiwari, the film seems to be a successor to the 2019 hit Good Newwz, which starred Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh in the lead roles.

Bad Newz is slated to hit theatres on July 19.

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
