Pankaj Tripathi has recently shared a post, confirming the news of his next project. The actor will star opposite Aditi Rao Hydari in Varun V Sharma’s next family entertainer, titled, Parivarik ManuRanjan. Featuring a perfectly mismatched pair, the film promises laughter, love, chaos, and music. Set against the backdrop of Lucknow, a city known for its romance, culture, language, and food, the film effortlessly blends situational comedy with heartfelt emotion. According to the reports in Pinkvilla, the movie officially began production today, June 5, in Lucknow. Talking about the film, Pankaj Tripathi said, “There was something so charmingly simple and yet irresistibly funny about the script that I couldn’t say no. It’s the kind of story that sneaks up on you with its warmth. This is my first time working with Aditi, and I’ve always admired her craft towards acting.”
Aditi Rao Hydari added, “When I read the script, I smiled through it. For me it’s rare to come across a story in this universe. The situational comedy, the twists and the unexpected turns and more importantly the warmth and simplicity that is the heart of the story. Getting to work with Pankaj sir is going to be a treat. He is a master of this genre, and for me, this is going to be a big learning experience and a joy.”
