YouTuber-turned-actor Bhuvan Bam is gearing up for a significant milestone in his career as he steps into Bollywood with his debut film, Kuku Ki Kundli. According to reports, the actor has already begun shooting for the romantic comedy, marking his much-anticipated entry into mainstream Hindi cinema.

As per a Hindustan Times report, Bhuvan is currently stationed in Lucknow, where the filming is underway. The film also features Wamiqa Gabbi, Manoj Pahwa, and Geeta Agarwal Sharma in pivotal roles, adding depth and experience to the ensemble cast.

The report further mentioned that Bhuvan arrived in Lucknow on February 8 and commenced shooting the very next day. The production is set for a month-long schedule, with key portions being filmed across different locations in Uttar Pradesh.

Kuku Ki Kundli is directed by Karan Sharma and backed by Dharma Productions. Sharing insights about the shoot, a source close to the production revealed details about the filming schedule and locations. As quoted by Hindustan Times, the source said, “The film is being shot in Lucknow, and we have a small schedule in Kanpur as well. It’s a month-long schedule, and we started the shoot from the posh Ansal Golf City before moving to a city mall, as the city is being depicted as New Delhi. On Tuesday, the team shot at a dharamshala in Daliganj."

Wamiqa Gabbi is expected to join the unit in Kanpur from Wednesday onwards. Meanwhile, Manoj Pahwa and Geeta Agarwal Sharma (recently seen in Saiyaara, 2025) were reportedly spotted filming alongside Bhuvan at a mall near Shaheed Path, further fueling excitement around the project.

While Kuku Ki Kundli marks Bhuvan Bam’s theatrical debut, the actor is no stranger to leading projects. He has previously headlined popular OTT shows such as Dhindora and Taaza Khabar, both of which garnered widespread appreciation from audiences.

Adding to the buzz around his career, Dhindora season 2 was recently announced by Netflix. The eight-episode comedy-drama originally released globally on Bhuvan Bam’s YouTube channel, BB Ki Vines, and featured him reprising multiple beloved BBKV characters. The show also starred Anup Soni, Rajesh Tailang, and debutant Gayatri Bharadwaj, and was widely praised for its unique storytelling and character-driven humour.

With Kuku Ki Kundli, Bhuvan Bam now takes a major leap from digital stardom to the big screen, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter in his journey.
