About Bachchhan Paandey Movie:

Bachchhan Paandey is a Hindi action comedy film directed by Farhad Samji, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, Arshad Warsi and Jacqueline Fernandez. Pankaj Tripathi, Prateik Babbar, Sanjay Mishra and Abhimanyu Singh play supporting roles.
It is an official remake of the 2014 Tamil film Jigarthand, which itself was inspired by the 2006 South Korean film A Dirty Carnival.
The title derives from a character of the same name, played by Kumar, in the 2008 actioner Tashan. The title was initially spelled Bachchan Pandey but was later changed to Bachchhan Paandey.
Principal photography of the film was initially scheduled to begin in May 2020, but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 lockdown in India. Pre-production restarted in October 2020, and eventually, the filming commenced on 6 January 2021 in Jaisalmer. The film was wrapped up in July 2021.
The film was released theatrically on 18 March 2022 and ended up being a box-office bomb.
Bachchhan Paandey Storyline:
Myra Devekar is an aspiring director who has a fallout with her director. She gets the support of her producer and is given a task by him to come up with a gripping gangster biopic flick infested with heavy dosage of violence.
Myra gets an idea that will `kill two birds with one stone` by making a biopic on a real life gangster! Satisfying the producers need for commercialism and her hunger for making a realistic film. Her extensive research only leads to one name, the most menacing, one eyed `Bachchan Pandey` of Baagwa, a ruthless gangster surrounded by quirky yet scary henchmen. Myra discreetly tries her best to find out about Bachchan Pandey, with the help of an old friend who resides in Baagwa, so that he can help gather more information to develop a film script, but fails miserably in all her attempts. However when she finally gets the chance to gain an insight into Bachchan`s life and ends up getting caught by Bachchan Pandey. What happens next in this twist of tales takes us on a roller coaster ride.
