Kanhaiya Twitter Pe Aaja: YRF announces Vicky Kaushal as singing sensation Bhajan Kumar in The Great Indian Family

Yash Raj Films today revealed that the much-awaited singing sensation, Bhajan Kumar, whom the company was supposed to launch with big fanfare, is none other than the Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal! Vicky plays the role of a local singing star by the name of Bhajan Kumar in YRF’s upcoming theatrical release The Great Indian Family (TGIF)!

While revealing Vicky as Bhajan Kumar today, YRF also launched the first song of TGIF called Kanhaiya Twitter Pe Aaja which is Vicky’s big entry song in the film. Vicky Kaushal reveals, “I play a singing star named Bhajan Kumar in our quirky family entertainer The Great Indian Family and we decided to have some fun before we actually revealed the fact that I was playing this character in the film!”

He adds, “As an actor, I love to bring smiles to the faces of people and I hope I was able to achieve it. So, now the cat’s out of the bag! I hope people love my new avatar in TGIF. I’m eager to see how Bhajan Kumar is received by audiences. I know I have poured my heart into bringing him to life on the big screen.”

TGIF is the first creative collaboration between YRF and Vicky Kaushal, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya. Kanhaiya Twitter Pe Aaja has been composed by Pritam and penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. TGIF is set to release worldwide on September 22nd.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Vicky will be seen next in Sam Bahadur, the biopic of Field Marshal Sam Maneskshaw, slated to release on December 1. On the other side, Katrina will be seen with Vijay Sethupathi in Sriram Raghavan's Merry Christmas. The crime thriller will release in cinemas on December 15. 

On the personal front, Vicky Kaushal is married to Katrina Kaif. Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif tied the knot with each other in an intimate, private ceremony in Rajasthan in December 2021. The wedding was a well-kept secret as both the actors remained tight lipped about their relationship until the D-Day and then, surprised us all with their beautiful wedding pictures.

But do you know when did Vicky and Katrina met for the first time? It was at the Screen Awards a few years back, when the Sardar Udham actress was the host and when the Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara actress came on the stage to give away an award, Vicky funnily asked her, "Aap kisi ache se Vicky Kaushal ko dhund ke shaadi kyun nahi kar leti? (Why don't you find a good Vicky Kaushal and get married to him?)". It was all a part of a rehearsed joke at the awards function, and the destiny actually brought them together.
