Paresh Rawal double role Bhagam Bhag 2 — that’s the big takeaway from the latest exclusive development surrounding the much-awaited sequel to the 2006 comedy hit. Known for his impeccable comic timing and scene-stealing performances, Paresh Rawal is set to up the madness quotient by playing not one, but two characters in Bhagam Bhag 2, which stars Akshay Kumar and Manoj Bajpayee in the lead.
Paresh Rawal Confirms Double Role
Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Paresh Rawal, who confirmed the development with his trademark enthusiasm.
When asked about the double role, the actor said,
“Yes, I do. I am excited. Maza aayega. Dhamaal hoga!”
The confirmation has instantly heightened anticipation around the film, especially given Rawal’s legendary track record in comedy.
A Proven Master of Dual (and Triple) Roles
This isn’t Paresh Rawal’s first brush with multiple characters. His performances as Ram Gopal Bajaj and Shyam Gopal Bajaj (Teja) in Andaz Apna Apna (1994) remain iconic. He went a step further in Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! (2008), essaying three distinct roles.

- Platform (1993)
- Janam Kundli (1995)
