In what is a bold, brave and liberating step in the field of Indian cinema, the makers of the upcoming film, 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan', have used the country's ruling heartthrob as the face of an important tale that needs to be told and who better than Ayushmann Khurrana could it be at this moment.'SMZS' is a tale of a love awaiting parental approval and social acceptance. Infusing humour to essay the message of inclusivity, the film stars Ayushmann as Kartik Singh, a man deeply in love with Aman Tripathi digital sensation Jitendra Kumar, much to the chagrin of Aman's parents Sunaina Tripathi Neena Gupta and Shankar Tripathi Gajraj Rao. Will this love survive the test of time and win against all odds?Written and directed by Hitesh Kewalya, not only does 'SMZS' bring back the winning trio of 'Badhaai Ho', it also promises a crackling entertainer with a heart. The film also stars Manurishi Chadha, Sunita Rajwar, Maanvi Gagroo and Pankhuri Awasthy in key roles. Bhumi Pednekar is also touted to play an extended cameo.Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Himanshu Sharma and Aanand L Rai, 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan' is slated to release in cinemas on Feb 21, 2020
