Aakash Kaushik

Aakash Kaushik, straight outta India, is one of those names floating around Bollywood that you’ll hear more and more if you’re even half-tuned into what's happening in Hindi movies right now. Guy’s got a knack for weaving stories that are just wild enough to keep you guessing, but not so out there that you’re rolling your eyes. He’s not one of those “stuck in a rut” writers either—nope, he hops genres like he’s changing playlists. Take Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, for example. That one exploded at the box office in 2022—ghosts, laughs, and Kartik Aaryan doing his thing. Aakash helped shape that crazy ride, juggling horror and comedy in a way that actually worked, not easy in a sequel, believe me. Go back a few years and you’ve got Housefull 4, which—let’s be honest—was a total circus, but in the best way. Reincarnation, slapstick, over-the-top everything. Aakash tossed in jokes and gags that either made you groan or snort, sometimes both at once. Then there’s A Flying Jatt, where he dabbled in superhero territory. Not your typical Marvel knockoff, but something with a goofy, good-hearted twist that only Bollywood would try to pull off. It flopped with the critics but found its own weird fan base. Honestly, what’s cool about Aakash is he doesn’t take himself too seriously. He’s in it for the fun, the chaos, and maybe just a little bit of that box office magic. Keep an eye on him—he’s only getting started, and Bollywood could use a few more writers willing to take some risks.
