Released on March 10, 2006, Malamaal Weekly became a popular Hindi comedy featuring Paresh Rawal, Riteish Deshmukh and Rajpal Yadav. Nearly two decades later, the movie is set to return with a sequel. While the original cast is expected to reprise their roles, a surprising new name could join the comedy.

Elvish Yadav has been cast in Malamaal Weekly 2, according to a report from Bollywood Hungama. Additionally, he appeared to confirm the news on his X (formerly Twitter).

"Nayi film. Naya safar. Main bahar se aaya hoon, Bollywood mein mera koi nahi tha. Aap logon ke beech se uth kar aaya, aur aapke pyaar ne mujhe ab bade parde tak pahuncha diya. Aaj jo kuch bhi hoon, aapke pyaar ki wajah se hoon. Aur isi pyaar ki wajah se main "MALAMAAL" hu. Bas pyaar banaye rakhna."

About Malamaal Weekly

Malamaal Weekly centres on Lilaram, a lottery ticket vendor and the only literate person in the village. When Lilaram plans to claim the lottery prizes for himself after a customer passes away from shock, he discovers that everyone in the village is just as anxious to get their hands on the money. This leads to a wave of greed-fueled pandemonium and hilarious rivalry.

Malamaal Weekly was a box office hit when it was released in 2006. Later, the movie was remade in Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, with Priyadarshan directing the Malayalam version as well.
