Arshad Warsi Starrer ‘Jeevan Bheema Yojana’ Set for Worldwide Theatrical Release on August 28
The official release date for the highly anticipated dark comedy crime thriller Jeevan Bheema Yojana has been announced. Headlined by Arshad Warsi, the feature film is officially slated to hit cinemas worldwide next month on August 28, 2026. Directed by Abhishek Dogra, the project marks a significant milestone in Warsi’s filmography, featuring the actor in his very first double role.
The Plot: A Chaotic Case of Double Trouble
The narrative leverages a high-stakes premise of mistaken identity, corporate fraud, and dark humor:
Arshad Warsi brings to life dual characters—Jeevan, a debt-ridden ordinary citizen, and Bheema, his dangerous lookalike. Their worlds collide under unexpected circumstances, triggering a chaotic chain of events. Sanjeeda Shaikh plays Yojana, a resourceful wife who masterminds a highly ambitious fraud scheme, while Vijay Raaz steps into the shoes of Vinayak, a mysterious individual harboring deep secrets.
Director Abhishek Dogra detailed the human core driving the film’s comedic narrative:
“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.”
A Major Launchpad for StarBeam Ventures
The film serves as the grand opening act for its production house’s upcoming multi-project theatrical slate. Raman Raheja, Director of StarBeam Ventures Ltd and co-producer, commented on the significance of the premiere:
“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.”
