Abhishek is known for directing such critically and commercially successful films as Tere Bin Laden (2010) and Parmanu: The Story Of Pokharan (2018).
Talking about his forthcoming directorial venture, director Abhishek Sharma said in a statement, “Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is a unique family comedy that draws humour from the quirks of its refreshing yet relatable characters. The world is set in the innocence of 1990s when there was no social media or mobile phones.”
