MUMBAI: The Arshad Warsi-starrer ‘Jeevan Bheema Yojna’ has a release date now. The film is slated to release in theatres worldwide on September 4.

Directed by Abhishek Dogra, the film will star Arshad Warsi in a double role. The movie also stars Sanjeeda Shaikh, Vijay Raaz, Pooja Chopra, and Bijendra Kala. According to Deadline, the movie was earlier slated to release in theatres on August 28.

Arshad will be seen taking 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.

The ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’ actor announced the release date on his Instagram handle on Monday. “How far would you go to live a life that isn’t yours? Because one face can hide more than one story. Jeevan Bheema Yojana conning in cinemas on 4th September 2026,” wrote Arshad Warsi.

According to the press note shared by the makers, the movie “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 shared, “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.”

Produced by Anshu Mishra under the banners of Star Beam Ventures Ltd (formerly BlueGod Entertainment Ltd), ‘Jeevan Bheema Yojana’ has wrapped production. (ANI)
