Ravi Kishan puts rumours to rest: “I am not replacing Boman Irani”
Actor-politician Ravi Kishan has addressed swirling rumours that he was stepping into Boman Irani‘s shoes for the much-awaited sequel Khosla Ka Ghosla 2. Speaking from the film’s Delhi schedule, Kishan made it clear that his role is brand new and that the original ensemble remains intact as shooting continues.
Joining the Delhi schedule
The sequel to the 2006 cult classic recently began its Delhi phase of filming, and Kishan has joined the cast for the current leg. “I was so excited to be joining this cast. I will be a part of the Delhi schedule,” he told HT City, adding that the script is strong and will show him in a different avatar.
Why the replacement rumours started
Speculation kicked off after reports noted Boman Irani’s absence on the first day of the shoot. That led to online chatter that Kishan might be stepping in as Kishan Khurana — Irani’s iconic character from the original. However, updates say Irani is expected to join filming from January 8, confirming his character’s return.
Kishan was blunt about the rumours: “Everyone is there, I am not replacing him. Mine is a new character.” He also emphasised his excitement for the project and the freshness of his role.
What to expect from the shoot
- The current Delhi schedule is expected to run for about 20 days.
- Much of the story is reportedly set inside a house, keeping the intimate, character-driven feel of the original.
- Shooting will also take place around Delhi hotspots such as Noida, Gurugram and Connaught Place, suggesting the sequel will broaden its canvas while retaining the original’s close-knit tone.
Cast camaraderie and fan reaction
News of Kishan’s involvement was met with warm reactions from co-stars. Veteran actor Anupam Kher welcomed him on Instagram, calling Kishan a “brilliant actor and a great human being” and describing the collaboration as “super special.”
Fans have been excited to see familiar faces reunite, and Kishan’s promise of a different avatar has added to the curiosity. With the original cast reportedly intact and new elements being added, Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 looks set to balance nostalgia with fresh performances.
What’s next
As the Delhi schedule progresses and Boman Irani joins the set, audiences can expect more updates from production. For now, the key takeaway is simple: Ravi Kishan is part of the sequel, but not as a replacement — he’s bringing a new character to a beloved story.
