Mumbai: Arshad Warsi's upcoming film has undergone a last-minute title change, with Jeevan Bheema Yojana now renamed Jeevan Ya Bheema Con? just three days before its scheduled theatrical release.The Abhishek Dogra-directed dark comedy is set to arrive in cinemas on September 4, 2026. The title change comes shortly before release, making the new name the latest promotional twist for a film that has already seen its theatrical date shifted.The film was previously known as Jeevan Bheema Yojana. Its trailer, released on August 26, was also promoted under the earlier title.

Why the new title matters

The new title — Jeevan Ya Bheema Con? — directly plays on the film's central premise and Warsi's double role.Warsi plays Jeevan and Bheema, two men who look alike. Sanjeeda Sheikh plays Yojana, while Vijay Raaz, Pooja Chopra, Brijendra Kala and the late Atul Parchure are also part of the cast.The film follows a debt-ridden couple whose plan involving Jeevan's lookalike Bheema spirals into a complicated crime-comedy situation. The plot involves a fake death, an insurance payout and Bheema's unexpected connection to diamond smuggling.The new question-mark title therefore puts the identity confusion at the centre of the film's marketing.

Arshad Warsi in his first double role

Jeevan Ya Bheema Con? marks Arshad Warsi's first double role on the big screen.Speaking about the film, Warsi has described it as a quirky story involving ordinary people caught in an increasingly complicated situation. He has also indicated that the trailer does not reveal everything the film has in store for audiences.Directed by Abhishek Dogra, the film also stars Sanjeeda Sheikh, Vijay Raaz, Pooja Chopra and Brijendra Kala.

Release date was already changed

The title change comes shortly after the film underwent another significant change.The movie was originally scheduled to release on August 28, but the makers later postponed its theatrical release by one week to September 4. The new release date was announced on August 24.At the time, reports said the additional time would allow the team to complete the final leg of its marketing campaign and publicity.The film is now scheduled to release on September 4 under its new title, Jeevan Ya Bheema Con?

What is the film about?

The story revolves around Jeevan, Yojana and Bheema, with Warsi playing the two lookalike characters.According to the film's synopsis, Jeevan and Yojana are struggling with debt when they encounter Bheema, a stranger who looks exactly like Jeevan. They devise a plan involving a fake death and an insurance claim, but the discovery that Bheema was connected to diamond smuggling brings dangerous complications into their lives.The film combines crime, comedy and thriller elements, with the identity mix-up forming the basis of the story.With only three days remaining before its theatrical release, the last-minute title change gives the Arshad Warsi-led film a fresh promotional identity just as it enters the final stage of its campaign.
