Luka Chuppi 2, slated to bring Varun Dhawan and Sharvari Wagh together, is now postponed. The film has not even reached its pre-production stage, despite the promise of the film taking off in early 2026. The reason? Director Laxman Utekar. Find out how...
Laxman Utekar's conflicting schedule causes Luka Chuppi 2 delay
Even though Luka Chuppi 2 was set to take off in early 2026, that is unlikely to happen in the current scenario. Mid-Day reports that director Laxman Utekar is busy prioritizing Shraddha Kapoor-starrer Eetha. Thus, Luka Chuppi 2 will be delayed by nearly six months.
Confirming the same, a source told the daily, "Laxman is completely tied up with the Shraddha Kapoor film right now. Eetha is demanding his full attention, and he doesn't want Luka Chuppi 2 to feel rushed or compromised. After he wraps up Eetha by mid-2026, he will train his focus on the rom-com's sequel."
About Eetha
Eetha is a film driven by the story of Tamasha artiste Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar. The title was finalized keeping in mind how Vittha is pronounced as Eetha in most remote villages around Maharashtra. The film is bankrolled by Shraddha's Stree producer, Dinesh Vijan.
