Bollywood ready to ride a laugh-inducing roadshow, Bollywood is about to start rolling for a party with the release of Rahu Ketu on January 16, 2026. Based on the Fukrey franchise film, which was a joyous affair in cinema, this upcoming comedy film reintroduces the old troupe Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma with whom we already had a great relationship. Fukrey director Vipul Vig in charge of the production guarantees new order, eccentric people and good stories which have humor, hearts of gold at their heart. And when it opens up advance bookings for shows, you get this excitement rippling across social media and cinemas.
Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma’s reunion is one of the biggest highlights in the film. Their comic timing, plus friendship style has won fans over as favorites. Rahu Ketu offers Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma an entirely new play area for them to do something really wild and exciting. Through their promo slogan "#RahuKetu are calling – the chaos begins this Friday" it signals a wildly entertaining and wild adventure. People who have grown up admiring their antics in Fukrey are now ready to see what new mischief that they'll bring to the camera.

It just adds to the enthusiasm that Shalini Pandey will step up to the forefront. A film star with great acting skills, Shalini was a special tear in Arjun Reddy and Shalini has an absolutely cool energy to offer to the cast. That, he added, means a new mix of jokes and emotional depth, which brings new life to the film with her presence. The cast, other than Piyush Mishra, Chunky Panday, Amit Sial and Manu Rishi Chadha are also distinguished. And the rest of them each adds their own touches to the story, adding a strong and well adjusted cast of players.
Rahu Ketu has its back up from Zee Studios and is produced with the help of Umesh Kumar Bansal, Suraj Singh and Varsha Kukreja under the guidance of BLive Productions. Focusing on such well-known names, the film would be expected to be of exemplary production quality and appeal to a wide audience. Film analyst Taran Adarsh had posted a promotional posting announcing the advance booking openings, with a big “OPEN NOW” visual, accompanying a scene in the movie of two characters sharing food and conversation with one another suggesting the film’s grounded relatable humor.
The tone of the film seems to combine street-wise comedy with mundane scenarios like Fukrey. From the promo visuals and cast lineup it’s not difficult to see that Rahu Ketu will be a jumble of good times, bad, and sweet ones. The promotion’s hashtags (#PulkitSamrat, #VarunSharma, #ShaliniPandey, #VipulVig, etc.) link the film to previous hits even as it adds something fresh.
Fukrey fans have a particularly good time. Since Pulkit and Varun have returned online the internet environment is alive with anticipation; many people are already purchasing tickets. The movie's Friday release makes it a watch of the weekend for families, friends, and those who like comedy. There is a certain excitement for the film at Rahu Ketu, with its good cast, accomplished director and comedy that everyone can relate to. A big surprise in itself: It is poised to turn out as one of the biggest draws of the season.
Rahu Ketu is a film at its best a comedy more so than a comedy is that, a ray of companionship, chaos and storytelling. It will be released January 16, 2026, and now ahead of schedule, as well as opening up to advance reservations, the countdown is in play. When you have a solid passion for both Pulkit & Varun (to name two of the films), want to escape into the world to do something, this laughter will be easy to watch, the warmth will be there and the cinema will be fun!
