Cinema VinesFiroz Nadiadwala is gearing up for a fresh entry in the Welcome Universe with a zombie‑comedy that promises to bring the legendary pair Uday and Majnu back to the big screen. The project, tentatively titled Uday‑Majnu 2.0, will see the iconic duo reunited in a brand‑new, child‑friendly horror‑comedy setting.
Sources close to the development have confirmed that veteran actors Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar have been approached for roles that could redefine the classic Uday‑Majnu dynamic. The duo is reportedly excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Nadiadwala on this unconventional venture. “It’s a character of two together, which has the potential to become the new‑age Uday and Majnu,” a source told Bollywood Hungama, adding that both actors are keen to embark on this journey.
While the script is still in the writing phase, the film’s lead has already been secured. Tiger Shroff is set to star as the protagonist in this zombie comedy, with Nadiadwala assembling a solid ensemble to support the storyline. The project is positioned as part of Nadiadwala’s broader family‑comedy universe, aiming to deliver a kids‑friendly take on the zombie genre.
Production is slated to begin in early 2027, with a full schedule planned from start to finish. The film’s direction will be handled by Ahmed Khan, who has experience in blending humor with genre elements.
As the buzz grows, fans of the Welcome Universe can look forward to a fresh, comedic spin on the beloved Uday‑Majnu characters, now reimagined for a new generation of moviegoers.
