The Story in Brief
Bollywood Hungama reports that Riteish Deshmukh, Elvish Yadav, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav have been verbally confirmed as the male leads of Malamaal Weekly 2. Formal paperwork is under way, and production is planned to begin in November 2026. Amit Joshi will direct the sequel, which will tell a new story while retaining the original’s themes of poverty, greed and sudden wealth. Parineeti Chopra, Raveena Tandon and Shilpa Shirodkar are part of the female cast, the outlet reports.
Hindustan Times reported Elvish’s announcement on X, where he called the film his acting debut and said he had a strong role rather than a cameo. Bollywood Hungama, however, describes Malamaal Weekly 2 as his second Bollywood outing after an upcoming action film with Tiger Shroff and Remo D’Souza. The 2006 original starred Paresh Rawal, Riteish Deshmukh and Om Puri.
The Indian Opinion
Elvish’s fan base may help attract attention, but claims that his casting alone breaks the stereotype about YouTubers getting small roles need proof on screen. His own description of a strong part is not the same as a completed performance, while the film’s lead cast is still awaiting formal paperwork. The fair test will be the finished film and whether his character matters to the story, not announcement-day enthusiasm.
