Good Newwz follows two couples with same last names, who are looking to have babies via in-vitro fertilisation. The story deals with the confusion that ensues after Kumar and Dosanjh’s sperm is accidentally exchanged. Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Kumar’s Cape of Good Hope Films have jointly produced this project. Good Newwz marks the onscreen reunion of Khan and Kapoor after almost a decade. The two have previously worked together in films like Ajnabee, Bewafaa, Kambakkht Ishq, and Tashan. For Dosanjh, this film marks his first venture with Dharma.
