There’s no doubt that this romantic crime-comedy was iconic in many ways. However, instead of Abhishek Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan would be portraying the character of Bunty in the sequel.
According to reports, the production team of the movie had approached both Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji. However, things didn’t work out between Bachchan and YRF. Therefore, Saif Ali Khan was roped in for the role.
And here’s what netizens thought about the change:
Yrr saif as bunty feels so out of place

That role is made just for abhishek bachchan
How can you have any Bunty aur Babli without @juniorbachchan ? The endearing, innocent charm of Bunty was all Abhishek! #BuntyAurBabli2

saifu is good but missing abhishek bachhan in bunty babli trailer 🙁

The only thing I miss in the trailer is the original Bunty Abhishek Bachchan. Bunty and Babli franchise is incomplete without AB. Wish to see a song like Dhadak Dhadak and Kajra re .. It is one of my favorite movie of YRF .. Fun entertaining trailer..

I love Saif Ali Khan but there is only one Bunty and that’s Abhishek Bachchan. #BuntyAurBabli2

Honestly, no one can replace Abhishek Bachchan’s role in Bunty aur Babli. Low key sad to not see him in BB2

the fact that Bunty Babli 2 doesnt have abhishek bachchan is sad :/

Saif is good but I would have loved to see the OG bunty. Abhishek owned that character. https://t.co/sWmCoNG4ti

Always a treat to watch Rani ! Saif in his element too!
Original Bunty was Abhishek, would have been nice if he was retained though. https://t.co/VXYQplrmqL
No @juniorbachchan, No Bunty!! Abhishek Bachchan is Bunty! #BoycottBuntyAurBabli2 https://t.co/c5d5aeUr9A
