It would not be wrong to say that Taapsee Pannu<\/a>, Abhishek Bachchan and Vicky Kaushal’s performances in the 2018 film\u00a0Manmarziyaan<\/em>\u00a0struck the right chord with fans. But did you know they were not the first choice for the film? In fact, the project was partially shot with a completely different cast.<\/p>\n

Screenwriter Kanika Dhillon recently spilled the beans on the challenges she faced while bringing the Anurag Kashyap directorial to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took me 4-5 years to get the film greenlit, write it, re-write it, groom it and find people to make it. It was my biggest challenge so far,\u201d she told The Screen.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kanika Dhillon<\/a> revealed,\u00a0“Manmarziyaan<\/em> started and it stopped in between, and then it restarted with a different set of actors. A lot of people were hesitant to play these roles because they felt uncomfortable that the audience wouldn’t accept it.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seemed very risky to them to have the husband (Robbie, played by Abhishek Bachchan<\/a>) supporting Rumi (played by Taapsee Pannu) and then the boyfriend (Vicky, played by Vicky Kaushal) being commitment-phobic, every character while I was going out to cast, I was met with certain insecurities,” she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kanika Dhillon said the actors who played the roles were \u201cthe best,\u201d and their involvement in the film felt like \u201cdestiny choosing them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manmarziyaan<\/em>\u00a0follows the story of Rumi (played by Taapsee Pannu), a free-spirited woman, who falls in love with carefree and commitment-phobic Vicky (Vicky Kaushal). When he hesitates to marry her, she impulsively agrees to an arranged marriage with the calm and mature Robbie (Abhishek Bachchan). What follows is a rollercoaster of emotions as Rumi struggles to figure out what (and who) she wants.<\/p>\n

In addition to\u00a0Manmarziyaan<\/em>, Kanika Dhillon is credited for films like\u00a0Dunki, the\u00a0Haseen Dillruba\u00a0series,\u00a0Judgementall Hai Kya,\u00a0Raksha Bandhan\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Do Patti.<\/em><\/p>\n
