Vicky Kaushal is gearing up for a fresh challenge on the big screen, venturing into comedy with the Anand Tiwari-directed and Karan Johar-backed Bad Newz. This film marks Kaushal's first foray into the genre, and anticipation is high among audiences. Joining him in this comedy caper are Triptii Dimri, known as the National Crush, and Punjabi star Ammy Virk.

Bad Newz shares thematic elements with its predecessor, Good Newwz, which was directed by Raj Mehta and featured an ensemble cast of Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Kiara Advani. Both films revolve around pregnancy-related mix-ups, injecting humor into medical and social situations.

In Good Newwz, the plot centers on two couples opting for in vitro fertilization (IVF), only to have their sperm samples swapped. The movie was a hit, blending comedy with a heartfelt exploration of modern reproductive technologies.

Bad Newz takes the concept further, delving into the rare medical phenomenon of heteropaternal superfecundation, where twins are fathered by two different men. Triptii Dimri's character finds herself in this unusual predicament, with Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk portraying the two potential fathers. This setup promises a chaotic, laugh-out-loud comedy, filled with confusion and rivalry.

Punjabi actors play a significant role in both films, with Diljit Dosanjh bringing his comedic flair to Good Newwz and Ammy Virk stepping into a similar space in Bad Newz. The Punjabi cultural representation adds an extra layer of humor and relatability for the audience.

Both movies are packed with peppy songs that have garnered massive popularity. Good Newwz featured hit tracks like Sauda Khara Khara and Laal Ghagraa, which were successful remakes of classic Punjabi songs. Bad Newz continues this trend with Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam, a recreated version of the iconic track from Shah Rukh Khan's Duplicate. The trendiest song from Bad Newz, Tauba Tauba, has already become a favorite on social media, with fans grooving to Vicky Kaushal's smooth dance moves.

Bad Newz promises to be a madcap comedy-drama, serving as a spiritual sequel to Good Newwz. Presented by Amazon Prime in association with Dharma Productions and Leo Media Collective, the film is set to hit the silver screens on July 19.

Both films blend humor with social messages, entertaining while addressing important themes. As Bad Newz gears up for release, it aims to replicate the success of Good Newwz, providing audiences with another dose of laughter and insight.

With a stellar cast, engaging storyline, and foot-tapping music, Bad Newz is poised to be a hit, continuing the legacy of its predecessor while carving out its own unique space in the comedy genre.
