The makers of Ayushmann Khurrana & Bhumi Pednekar's 2017 hit film 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan' announced the film's second installment titled 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan' in May this year. While the first part, revolved around the subject of erectile dysfunction, the second part will be a same sex love story in which Ayushmann Khurrana will play the role of a gay. Ever since the announcement, the film is creating huge buzz in the trade. If the latest buzz is to be believed, TV actress Pankhuri Awashty will be seen playing an important role in 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan'.

Pankhuri Awashty, who is currently seen playing the role of 'Vedika' in Shivangi Joshi & Mohsin Khan starrer long-running Star Plus show 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai', has reportedly been signed by makers to play Ayushmann Khurrana's love-interest in 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan'. She will play a pivotal role in the film.

While talking to TOI, a source close to the production house has quipped that the reports are false and that Pankhuri Awashty is not the leading lady of 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan'.

Pankhuri Awashty as well as makers are yet to react on the same. However, if Pankhuri is a part of the film, it'll be interesting to her equation with Ayushmann's character in 'Shubh Mangal..' as he is playing a gay.

Directed by Hitesh Kewalya, 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan' is scheduled to release on Valentine's Day next year.
