Mumbai, Aug 24 (IANS/WISHAVWARTA) The makers of Arshad Warsi’s forthcoming dark comedy, ‘Jeevan Bheema Yojana’, have locked in a new release date. Sharing the latest poster of the film on social media, the makers revealed that the drama will now reach the audience on September 5 this year.

‘Jeevan Bheema Yojana’ was initially slated to hit the theatres on August 28. However, the release of the movie has now been pushed by a week. The reason for the change in release date is not known.

Arshad Warsi will be seen in a double role for the first time in the project which also features Sanjeeda Shaikh, Vijay Raaz, Pooja Chopra, and Bijendra Kala in key roles, along with others.

Sanjeeda will essay the role of Yojana, Jeevan’s resourceful wife, whereas Vijay Raaz will be seen as the mysterious Vinayak.

‘Jeevan Bheema Yojana’ shares the journey of Jeevan (Played by Arshad) and his wife Yojana (Played by Sanjeeda). As the couple struggles under mounting debt, they discover Bheema, a stranger who looks exactly like Jeevan. They form a seemingly foolproof plan to fake Jeevan’s death and claim an insurance payout. However, things soon get out of control when they realise that the man presumed dead has ties to a dangerous diamond-smuggling network.

Shedding further light on ‘Jeevan Bheema Yojana’ and Arshad Warsi’s performance in his next, director Abhishek Dogra had said, , “Jeevan Bheema Yojana is a film about ordinary people making one extraordinary, catastrophic decision and then spending the rest of the film paying for it. The genre is dark comedy, but the heart of it is very human. Arshad brings both men to life with a precision that constantly surprised us on set.”

‘Jeevan Bheema Yojana’ has been backed by Anshu Mishra under the banners of Star Beam Ventures Ltd (formerly BlueGod Entertainment Ltd).
