-

After impressing the audience with its quirky trailer, posters and music, Ayushmann Khurrana and Jitendra Kumar’s Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan releases today. Based on the subject of homosexual­ity, the movie is sprinkled with a healthy dose of laughter. While Jitendra plays the role of Aman Tripathi in the film, Ayushmann essays the role of Kartik Singh. The film will see the duo convincing the Tripathi family about their unconventi­onal romance and breaking existing taboos. In the film, playing parents to Jitendra are Gajraj Rao and Neena Gupta, who are shown as protective yet extremely loving parents.

The film aims to eradicate the social stigma around homosexual­ity. It’s for the first time that we will witness

Jitendra and Ayushmann playing lovers, in this Hitesh Kewalya directoria­l. With this family entertaine­r, Aanand L Rai has yet again taken Indian cinema towards a progressiv­e future with a heartwarmi­ng small-town tale. The movie shows a quirky family, just like any other Indian household, with two leads voicing their relationsh­ip.

I cannot wait to see the reactions of the audience to our hilarious film that will also leave a message. Working with such an incredible cast and crew has been a thoroughly enjoyable process for me. I had a brilliant time creatively, collaborat­ing with each one of them. I really hope our film can spread happiness and entertain the whole of India.”
