Jeevan Bheema Yojana: Arshad Warsi To Play A Double Role For The First Time In Upcoming Crime Comedy Thriller

Actor Arshad Warsi will be seen in a double role for the very first time in the upcoming dark comedy crime thriller Jeevan Bheema Yojana. The film is directed by Abhishek Dogra (Dolly Ki Doli, FryDay) and features a sharp ensemble cast including Sanjeeda Shaikh, Vijay Raaz, Pooja Chopra, and Bijendra Kala.

Produced by Anshu Mishra under the banners of Star Beam Ventures Ltd (formerly BlueGod Entertainment Ltd), Jeevan Bheema Yojana has wrapped production and is set to release in monsoon 2026 in theatres.

Known for memorable performances in films such as Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., Ishqiya, and Jolly LLB, Arshad takes on the challenge of portraying two lookalike men whose lives become unexpectedly and dangerously intertwined, setting the stage for a chaotic tale of crime, deception, and dark humour.

Jeevan Bheema Yojana explores themes of greed, desperation, love, and the consequences of one seemingly perfect decision gone terribly wrong. It follows the life of Jeevan and his wife Yojana, a couple struggling under mounting debt. Their fortunes seem set to change when they discover Bheema, a stranger who looks exactly like Jeevan. What begins as a seemingly foolproof plan to fake Jeevan's death and claim an insurance payout soon spirals out of control when the man presumed dead turns out to have ties to a dangerous diamond-smuggling network.

Speaking about the film, director Abhishek Dogra 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. Greed, desperation, love, and the terrible momentum of a lie you can't stop telling. Arshad brings both men to life with a precision that constantly surprised us on set."

Jeevan Bheema Yojana is slated to release soon this monsoon.
