The report added, "Both actresses are talented and have great comic timing. Raveena has proved her worth with the numerous comedies she has starred in during the 1990s and early 2000s, as well as the recently released Welcome To The Jungle (2026). Meanwhile, Parineeti Chopra began her career with a comic and adorable role in Ladies vs Ricky Bahl (2011). Hence, expect them to rock the show in Malamaal Weekly 2."

Malamaal Weekly 2 Story

The film is expected to follow a fresh storyline rather than serve as a direct continuation of the first instalment. Like the original, the sequel will reportedly revolve around a group of villagers and their attempts to acquire a large sum of money, leading to chaos, comedy, and unexpected situations.

The upcoming film will reportedly be directed by Amit Joshi, known for helming Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon's Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. The makers are currently in the process of finalising additional actors for key roles.

Official Announcement Awaited

The film’s official release date and further casting details are awaited. An official announcement is expected soon.

Parineeti, who welcomed her baby boy Neer on October 19, 2025, with her politician husband Raghav Chadha, was last seen in the Netflix film Amar Singh Chamkila, alongside Diljit Dosanjh.
