The upcoming Bollywood film Badhaai Do, starring Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar in prominent characters, will arrive in theatres on February 11, 2022, the makers announced on Tuesday.

Ahead of the release of Badhaai Do, the makers shared the theatrical trailer and the new release date of the film on their official Twitter account.

If the trailer is anything to go by, the family entertainer features Rao as a cop and Pednekar as a physical education teacher.

Badhaai Do will be addressing another such unusual relationship and tell their story through the comedy of error situations, the makers said in a press release.

Besides Rao and Pednekar, Badhaai Do boasts of an ensemble cast, featuring Seema Pahwa, Sheeba Chadha, Chum Darang, Lovleen Mishra, Nitish Pandey, and Shashi Bhushan.
