Watch it below:
Talking about Pankhuri Awashty, Pankhuri has been a part of various popular shows like 'Yeh Hai Aashiqui', 'MTV Fanaah', 'Suryaputra Karan' among others & became a household name after playing the lead role of 'Amala' in Star Plus show 'Kya Qusoor Hai Amala Ka'. Post her wedding with TV star Gautam Rode in February last year, she recently made her comeback on small-screen in a full-fledged role in 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai'.
There were also reports that actor Divyendu Sharma, 'Liquid' of 'Yaar Ka Punchnama' and 'Munna Bhaiya' from 'Mirzapur', was to play Ayushmann's gay partner in the movie but with the revelation of the full cast it is clear that the actor's love interest would be Jitendra Kumar instead. Jitendra, who has been seen in various popular web series and youtube videos, in known by the name 'Jeetu Bhaiyya' on Instagram, Facebook, and other social media platforms.
The makers of 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan' had also released an animated teaser of the film on May 9. The 50-second-long teaser perfectly captured the evolution of love stories in India and how people are familiar with heterosexual relationships like Romeo-Juliet, Laila- Majnu, Mirza-Sahiba, Raj-Simran. A few moments into the teaser, we get to see love stories of homosexuals which existed in the society but were never known or talked about.
Produced by Anand L Rai and Bhushan Kukmar, 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan' which went on floors over two weeks back, will release on March 13, 2020.
