Manmarziyaan has been in talks for more than a year but the film continued to be in a fix with constant changes happening on the directorial and casting front. However, Aanand L. Rai, despite his other work commitments, was keen on taking the film forward and has finally locked the details with Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Abhishek Bachchan as the leading cast and Anurag Kashyap at the helm of it.
Manmarziyaan kicks off with Taapsee Pannu, Abhishek Bachchan and Vicky Kaushal in PunjabYes, Anurag Kashyap will be directing this love story that is set against the backdrop of North India. Although the filmmaker is known more for his gritty and brutal dramas, Anurag has decided to experiment with the romance genre with this film. Furthermore, adding to the curiousity is the unique casting of Taapsee Pannu and Abhishek Bachchan. Interestingly, Taapsee shared screen space with Abhishek’s father and megastar Amitabh Bachchan in one of her most popular films, Pink [2016].

Aanand L Rai says, “Mukkabaaz has been a great and fruitful journey and now we are very excited for Manmarziyaan which is a complex and beautiful love story, with very relatable human emotions. I am happy that the pieces fit for the perfect cast to come together. Anurag has great energies and I’m very confident with him as the captain of this ship.’
