After Alia, Vicky Kaushal to work with Taapsee?

Without an ounce of doubt, Vicky Kaushal is one of the finest actors that we have today in Bollywood. The actor, who commenced his career with the critically acclaimed film Masaan, is doing one content-driven film after another.

And now, soon after wrapping up his upcoming film Raazi with Alia Bhatt, Kaushal is reported to have bagged filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's next film title Manmarziyan.

Initially, the much-delayed project was being helmed by Sameer Sharma with Bhumi Pednekar and Ayushmann Khurrana headlining the cast. However, it could not mount floors on time for some creative reasons, and later the directorial baton was passed onto Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari.

But the project hit the roadblock once again and Tiwari commenced work on her second directorial venture, Bareilly Ki Barfi with Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon. Anurag Kashyap is the new captain of the ship.

After shuffling its core team, the makers reportedly decided to start the project afresh, hence they recently replaced Bhumi Pednekar with Taapsee Pannu, and fresh reports suggest that now Ayushmann Khurrana is being replaced with Vicky Kaushal.

Not just in its cast, there have been major changes in the script also. Now, the subject of the film is much lighter in form of a romantic film.

Manmarziyan marks Vicky’s second collaboration with Anurag Kashyap since Raman Raghav 2.0. His Meghna Gulzar directorial is scheduled to release on 11th May 2018.
