Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari are set to share screen space for the first time in the upcoming romantic comedy Parivarik ManuRanjan. The film will premiere on Sony LIV, offering a blend of romance, humour and family warmth. While the release date is yet to be announced, both actors have other exciting projects lined up.
Sony LIV is all set to bring a delightful dose of pyaar, parivaar, and entertainment with Parivarik ManuRanjan, its upcoming original film, set for a digital premiere on the platform. Marking the first-ever on-screen collaboration between Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari, the film brings together the actors in a fresh pairing for a shuddh paarivarik romance-comedy.
With a charming new jodi at its heart, Parivarik ManuRanjan promises a refreshing take on romance, sprinkled with humour and the wholesome love and warmth of a family. The teaser offers a glimpse into this entertaining world, setting the stage for a story that brings love and laughter together.
Directed by Varun V. Sharma, with the story and screenplay by Brijendra Kala, Ali Abbas Zafar and Varun V. Sharma, and dialogues by Brijendra Kala, the film is produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Kamlesh Bhanushali, Himanshu Kishan Mehta and Alicia Zafar, with Ali Abbas Zafar serving as creative producer. The release date of the film has not been announced yet.
Workwise, Aditi is all set to reunite with Imtiaz Ali after Rockstar. Imtiaz Ali is set to direct his Laila Majnu hero, Avinash Tiwary, along with Aditi Rao Hydari, in a pure, intense romantic tale. The cast wrapped up the show in Mussoorie last year. The film also stars Arjun Rampal in a pivotal role. Aditi was recently seen alongside Siddharth in Lust Stories 3.
Meanwhile, Pankaj Tripathi will soon be seen making his hosting debut at IIFA. "I have spent much of my journey standing in front of the camera and telling stories through characters, so stepping onto the IIFA stage in a completely different role is both exciting and humbling. In fact, this will be my first experience of hosting an awards show, which makes the moment even more special for me," Tripathi said in a press statement.
