Arshad Warsi Takes First Double Role In Crime Comedy Thriller

Actor Arshad Warsi is set to surprise audiences with a new challenge in his upcoming film Jeevan Bheema Yojana, where he will portray a double role for the first time in his career. Directed by Abhishek Dogra, the dark comedy crime thriller has completed production and is scheduled for a theatrical release during the monsoon season of 2026.

Known for his memorable performances in films such as Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., Ishqiya, and Jolly LLB, Warsi takes center stage in a story that blends humor, suspense, and crime. The film also features an ensemble cast including Sanjeeda Shaikh, Vijay Raaz, Pooja Chopra, and Brijendra Kala in pivotal roles.

The plot revolves around Jeevan and his wife Yojana, a financially struggling couple weighed down by mounting debts. Their lives take an unexpected turn when they meet Bheema, a stranger who bears an uncanny resemblance to Jeevan. Seeing an opportunity to escape their troubles, they hatch a risky plan involving a fake death and a lucrative insurance claim.

However, what appears to be a simple scheme quickly spirals out of control. The situation becomes increasingly dangerous when the man believed to be dead is discovered to have links to a notorious diamond-smuggling syndicate. As lies pile up and the stakes rise, the couple finds themselves trapped in a web of deception, crime, and unforeseen consequences.

Director Abhishek Dogra describes the film as a story about ordinary people making one disastrous decision and dealing with the fallout. Combining dark humor with emotional depth, Jeevan Bheema Yojana promises an entertaining mix of greed, desperation, love, and chaos when it arrives in theaters in 2026.
