For some time, there have been reports going on that the shoot of Kizie Aur Manny is getting delayed, and the reason is blamed on the lead stars of the film. As you are aware, Sushant Singh Rajput is playing the lead in Kizie Aur Manny with Sanjana Sanghi cast opposite him. The pretty lady has been seen earlier in Hindi Medium, where she played a younger Saba Qarim. As per a report in DNA, the shoot of the film is in trouble. Apparently, Sushant has been trying to get close to his lead actress, who didn't take kindly to his moves and went on to complain to her family. This, as per the report, brought trouble on sets and the shoot had to be halted.

DNA even quotes a source from the sets saying, "Sushant was trying to be 'extra-friendly' towards newbie Sanjana Sanghi. On one occasion, she seemed to have got uncomfortable and apparently brought it to the notice of her parents, who reportedly told her to return to the set only if she felt she should. One hears that as of now, shooting has come to a standstill." Sushant was earlier linked with his Raabta co-star Kriti Sanon, so this news came as a surprise to us.

However, Mukesh Chhabra, the casting supremo who is making his directorial debut with Kizie Aur Manny, has refuted these rumours. Posting a picture of Sushant shooting for the film on his Insta account, Mukesh said, "All this speculation is a figment of wild imagination.We are shooting in Mumbai for #KizieऔरManny after wrapping the Jamshedpur and Ranchi schedule. Last mile to go with my lead actors.This has been an absolute joyride and we are cruising ahead like one big happy unit. Our entire cast and crew is committed to making a beautiful film with your continued love and support. On set as I post this!" So with this clarification, we do hope that these baseless rumours are put to a rest!

Kizie Aur Manny is an official remake of the Hollywood film, The Fault in Our Stars. It is a love story between two cancer-afflicted teens and was a huge hit in the West. The remake will release in India next year.
