Richa Chadda, who plays the character of track-suit wearing gangster Bholi Punjaban in the film, says, “Well, Bholi Punaban is a criminal and will always remain the same. In the first instalment, she was sent to jail, and in Fukrey Returns, she is back from the jail, lost all her money and illegal business and is struggling for survival. But you know, the film is a quirky one, so there are a lot of funny elements to it.”
