It is old news that Sushant Singh Rajput is playing the lead in The Fault in Our Stars remake. Titled Kizie Aur Manny, the movie marks the directorial debut of Mukesh Chhabra CSA. Sanjana Sanghi, who had a small role to play in Irrfan Khan's Hindi Medium, is the female lead in the movie.
If you have seen the Hollywood movie, which was based on a best-seller by the same name, it was about two teenagers who bond with each other over their common affliction which is cancer, which leads to a heart-touching love story. Some time back, we had the first poster of Kizie Aur Manny, which showed the leads, but didn't reveal their looks. Now we get an on-set pic that has Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi along with the director that might give a clue on how they will be looking in the movie.
