Filmfare has exclusively learned that the internet star-turned-actor Bhuvan Bam is all set to make his big film debut as the male lead in a movie produced by Dharma Productions. He will star alongside Wamiqa Gabbi. This film will be directed by Sharan Sharma, who directed the much-loved movie Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.

Dharma Productions’ top man, Karan Johar had earlier revealed that Bhuvan would be his main lead of the film. Recently, while talking to comedian Zarna Garg, Karan praised Bhuvan and casually revealed: “He’s been one of the biggest YouTubers and now he’s doing a film for us as the lead actor.” This simple line caused a huge buzz.

This will indeed be a massive moment in Bhuvan Bam’s career. He started from scratch, making videos on his famous BB Ki Vines channel. Recently, he moved into acting with the web series Taaza Khabar. In that show, he showcased his acting prowess to the fullest as critics and fans gave him great reviews for his serious, emotional performance, showing he is more than just a comedian. His move to lead a Dharma film is now a big step for him to establish him as a leading star.

On the other hand, Bhuvan’s co-actor Wamiqa is known for her strong performances and has been praised a lot recently. Her performance in Bhool Chuuk Maaf and Baby John were praised by fans and critics. Her talent and Bhuvan’s easy-going charm are expected to make a fresh and fun couple on screen.
