In the film, Ayushmann will play the role of a man who balds maturely and Bhumi will play the role of a dusky small-town girl at odds with a society that is obsessed with fair skin.
The quirky laugh riot will go on floors from March 2019 and will hit the big screen in September 2019.
Riding high on the success of 'Badhai Ho' and 'Andhadhun,' Ayushmann will also be seen in 'Dream Girl' opposite Nushrat Bharucha.
Meanwhile, Bhumi will be next seen in 'Sonchiriya' with Sushant Singh Rajput and Alankrita Shrivastava directorial 'Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare'.
