Released in 2006, the comedy film Bhagam Bhag still holds cult status among audiences. The trio of Akshay Kumar, Govinda, and Paresh Rawal displayed tremendous comic chemistry. Mistaken identities, ever-escalating confusion, and fast-paced comedy became the film's hallmarks. Now, nearly two decades later, buzz has intensified about its sequel, "Bhagam Bhag 2," but this time, there could be significant changes to the story as well as the cast.
