Arshad Warsi’s Winning Streak Continues; His Double Role Dark Comedy Jeevan Bheema Yojana Hits Cinemas on August 28, 2026

Arshad Warsi is all set to entertain audiences once again with Jeevan Bheema Yojana, a dark comedy crime thriller releasing in cinemas worldwide on August 28, 2026. Directed by Abhishek Dogra, the film also stars Sanjeeda Shaikh, Vijay Raaz, Pooja Chopra, Bijendra Kala and the late Atul Parchure, with Arshad taking on the first double role of his career.

Presented and produced by StarBeam Ventures Ltd (formerly Blue God Entertainment Ltd), Jeevan Bheema Yojana promises a quirky blend of crime, comedy and chaos.

The film stars Arshad Warsi in the dual roles of Jeevan and Bheema—a debt-ridden common man and his dangerous lookalike—whose lives become entangled in an outrageous chain of events that spirals into a hilarious yet high-stakes mess. Sanjeeda Shaikh plays Yojana, a sharp and resourceful wife who masterminds an audacious fraud, while Vijay Raaz essays the role of Vinayak, a mysterious man who knows far more than he reveals. Pooja Chopra, Bijendra Kala and the late Atul Parchure also play pivotal roles.

Sharing his thoughts on the film, director Abhishek Dogra said, “Jeevan Bheema Yojana is a film about ordinary people making one extraordinary, catastrophic decision — and then spending the rest of the film paying for it. The genre is dark comedy, but the heart of it is very human. Greed, desperation, love, and the terrible momentum of a lie you can’t stop telling. Arshad brings both men to life with a precision that constantly surprised us on set.”

Speaking about the film, Raman Raheja, Director of StarBeam Ventures Ltd and co-producer, said, “This is the first of the multiple releases lined up by StarBeam Ventures Ltd in the next 6-12 months and what better way to start than having the ever-loved Arshad Warsi featuring in a double role for the first time in his career. Audiences will love it.”

With its intriguing premise, an accomplished cast and the novelty of Arshad Warsi’s first-ever double role, Jeevan Bheema Yojana is poised to offer audiences a unique blend of humour, suspense and drama when it releases in cinemas worldwide on August 28, 2026.
