Fox Star Studios’ Kizzie Aur Manny retitled as Dil Bechara

Fox Star Studios’ much-talked-about Bollywood film Kizzie Aur Manny has gone for a title change. Starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi in pivotal parts, the movie has now been retitled as Dil Bechara. The studio took to social media to announce the new title of the film.

When Fox Star Studios’ chief creative officer, Rucha Pathak, was asked about the sudden change in the title of the film, she explained, “A.R. Rahman, who is composing the music, shared a vibrant and fun number, with lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. When we heard the song, we found our title in it. It perfectly embodies the theme of our film.”


For the uninitiated, Dil Bechara is an official remake of American romantic tragedy film The Fault In Our Stars (2014), which itself was based on John Green’s novel of the same name, published in the year 2012.

Dil Bechara marks the directorial debut of well-known casting director Mukesh Chhabra. Besides Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi, the much-awaited flick will also see Saif Ali Khan in a special appearance.

The film is expected to hit screens in the second half of the year.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
