Zee Studios and BLive Productions are set to release the quirky new comedy Rahu Ketu in cinemas on January 16, 2026. The film reunites fan-favorites Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma, following their success in the Fukrey franchise. Leading alongside them is Shalini Pandey, joined by a strong supporting cast including Piyush Mishra, Chunky Pandey, Amit Sial, and Manu Rishi Chadha.
A Fresh Take Amidst Big-Budget Dramas
In an era dominated by grand action dramas and sweeping romances, Rahu Ketu offers a lighthearted, refreshing alternative. The film blends Indian folklore with situational humor and a satirical look at everyday life. Written and directed by Vipul Vig, known for his work on Fukrey, it promises a playful collision of myth and modernity through comedy.

The makers recently unveiled a motion poster featuring the catchy ‘Papi’ tune, which quickly gained traction online. The teaser captures the film’s mischievous spirit, accompanied by the tagline: “Iss January badlegi aapki ‘dasha’ aur ‘disha’. Only in cinemas.”
