Barfi! Sequel Filming Secretly in Europe

The buzz in Bollywood is palpable as rumors emerge of an under-the-radar secret sequel to the beloved film Barfi! (2012) was being secretly filmed in some location in Europe. Yes, the endearing story of the delightful deaf-and-mute boy who stole millions of hearts will possibly be expanding, and fans are going crazy. Ranbir Kapoor, who so charmingly played Barfi with his unforgettable expressions and radiant smile, has been spotted in Prague cycling around in suspenders and a flat cap, looking every bit as Barfi himself. Kapoor is known for being coy with the media when it comes to personal projects, and is also dodging questions about his trip, suggesting he is up to something secret, snowballing the idea of “bracing the power of the unknown” and adding to the whole mystery surrounding the production.

Basu, known for his poetic magic, has kept the bigger things under wraps but gave little hints of the possibility of filming in his recent social media posts during his trip across Europe. With pictures of carousels in Vienna and quaint cafés in Zurich, his captions full of old Hindi song lyrics have left fans desperate to decode hidden clues. It’s almost like Basu is teasing a cinematic treasure hunt, and the internet has gone into overdrive trying to connect the dots. Meanwhile, the film crew is said to be working under a fake title with locked scripts, using codenames, and enforcing extreme secrecy—typical Bollywood spy-level stuff that only adds to the allure.

There is also heavy speculation about what might happen in this new journey alongside Ranbir. Priyanka Chopra, who played Jhilmil in the first film, will not be returning due to her schedule being so busy internationally. Rumors are swirling that a new role might be cast, maybe a European actress, to bring a new flavor and dimension to the story! Fans have noticed a certain French-Romanian actress, Lilla Dragomir, around the shooting locations in Budapest, sharing playful, silent moments with Ranbir that mirror the non-verbal magic of Barfi and Jhilmil’s relationship. Could she be the new muse of this secret project? Both guess the rumor mill does.

Moreover, insiders say, this can’t be a sequel; it’s more of a spiritual successor: a narrative that channels the heart and spirit of the original Barfi!, but given a fresh story experience that lies in Europe. It appears that the director is deliberately making less spectacle typical of Bollywood and more a universal poetry. Ranbir is once again making physical expressions and silence communicate emotions rather than the dialogue of others. It was even conveyed by a crew member as a postcard from solitude, providing clues to a hidden story, deeper and more contemplative, relative to the original film retained a similar Chaplin-esque production charm.

Be excited? The answer is definitely yes. Get excited. As for whether the sequel can capture the look and feel of Barfi! And add new elements to a world that was already full of charm? It’s certainly fun to think about. The mystery behind the film is obviously going to create a lot of hype, but that will only make the experience of watching the film more special in the end. All the films that take the world of Barfi! And using it as inspiration will also give us an insight as to what the final product will become.


At the very least, at least there will be a plan to create a sequel, and we hope that others will create their work in response. Absolutely. Barfi! wasn’t just a film—it was an emotion that spoke louder than words, a gentle rebellion against the noise and chaos of modern life. And if Ranbir Kapoor is indeed stepping back into that world, bringing the same tenderness and mischief to a new story set in beautiful European locales, it promises to be a cinematic gift worth waiting for. Keep your eyes peeled, your heart open, and maybe follow Ranbir’s Instagram stories a little closer — because this silent, soulful saga might just be the next big thing to steal our hearts again.
