Kizie Aur Manny shoot halted due to Sushant Singh Rajput's 'extra-friendly' ways with co-star Sanjana Sanghi?
The movie, which is an adaptation of the 2014 Hollywood hit, The Fault in Our Stars, marks casting guru, Mukesh Chhabra’s debut as a director
Sushant Singh Rajput is a friendly guy. Often, the nature of his familiarity is misunderstood. This is reportedly what happened on the sets of Kizie Aur Manny that went on floors in Jamshedpur last month. The movie, which is an adaptation of the 2014 Hollywood hit, The Fault in Our Stars, marks casting guru, Mukesh Chhabra’s debut as a director.
Our source says, “Sushant was trying to be ‘extra-friendly’ towards newbie Sanjana Sanghi. On one occasion, she seemed to have got uncomfortable and apparently brought it to the notice of her parents, who reportedly told her to return to the set only if she felt she should. One hears that as of now, shooting has come to a standstill.”
We texted Mukesh asking him if his film was stalled or was this just a temporary hitch. He didn’t respond till the time of going to press. We also tried contacting Sushant but he didn’t revert to our text messages and calls till the time of going to press. We sent an email to the studio, too, which is bankrolling the project. Its spokesperson said, “We, as a studio, take the safety of our talent and crew with utmost seriousness. No such incident has happened on our sets and shoot has not been suspended. As a matter of fact, the final schedule of our shoot is on as we speak. We are looking forward to releasing the film in 2019.”
