Bunty Aur Babli traced the small-town couple — Rakesh Trivedi (Abhishek) and Vimmi Saluja (Rani) — while they transformed into con artists. Amitabh Bachchan played the pivotal role of the police officer, hot on their heels. Abhishek and Rani have worked on multiple Bollywood films apart from Bunty Aur Babli, like Hum Tum, Yuva, Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. The last film where the two shared screen-space together was Pradeep Sarkar’s 2007 family drama, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag.
