Contrary to the reports that Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar's film Manmarziyan has been put on hold, director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari maintains that the project is very much on. She says, “Ayushmann hasn't abandoned the film. Also, we will start shooting by mid-September or early October once he finishes his other film with Parineeti Chopra, Meri Pyaari Bindu.“ Earlier, Sameer Sharma (Love Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana) was helming the movie, but he opted out after a few days' shoot due to creative differences with producer Aanand L Rai. Ashwini also clarified that they are going to shoot from the scratch, “We aren't going to use any portions which have already been shot and plan to start afresh.“
