'Luka Chuppi 2' Faces Major Setback Amid Scheduling Conflicts
22 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Luka Chuppi 2 sequel is delayed by six to eight months.
- Director Laxman Utekar is busy with Shraddha Kapoor's biopic.
- Varun Dhawan's packed schedule impacts sequel's timeline.
The romantic comedy sequel, 'Luka Chuppi 2,' has encountered a significant delay, pushing its pre-production back by an estimated six to eight months. This pause comes as a disappointment to fans eagerly awaiting an update on the follow-up to the successful 2019 film. The primary reason cited for the postponement is director Laxman Utekar's current commitment to 'Eetha,' a biopic requiring his full attention.
Utekar is deeply involved in the Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar biopic, which stars Shraddha Kapoor. To ensure 'Luka Chuppi 2' receives adequate focus without being rushed, it has been placed on hold. Utekar plans to dedicate his attention to the sequel only after completing 'Eetha' by mid-2026.
Compounding the delay are the packed schedules of the lead actors. Varun Dhawan is preparing for intense shoots for 'Border 2' and 'Bhediya 2,' demanding rigorous physical training and long outdoor commitments. Sharvari is also occupied with her filming commitments. Aligning their availability presents an additional challenge, with a final decision on the sequel's story and timeline expected by late 2026.
