As PeepingMoon.com had informed its readers about TV actress Pankhury Awasthy making her transition from the small screen to Hindi films with Aanand L Rai's Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, we are back with few more exclusive details on it. Apparently, the actress has already started shooting for the film.
A close source informs, “Pankhury is very excited for her Bollywood debut. It’s like a dream role for her. In the film, she will be seen romancing the lead actor Ayushmann Khurrana and they have already shot one song for it. It’s a full-fledged role and so far, the makers are quite satisfied with the outcome of Pankhury and Ayushmann’s chemistry on-screen. The second schedule of Pankhury’s shooting will start soon.”
Our source further added, “Before signing the film, Pankhury had given few auditions. It was quite surprising for her to get a call from the film makers. It was like a dream-come-true moment for her.”
Pankhuri is the wife of TV actor Gautam Rode who has also featured in films like Annarth (2002), Aksar 2 (2017) and several music videos. Although Pankhuri herself was seen in a small role in Prabhu Deva's 2013 romantic-comedy Ramaiya Vastavaiya, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan will be her first feature film in a leading role.
The sequel marks the directorial debut of the first part's writer Hitesh Kewalya releases on Valentine's Day next year. While the first part dealt with the issue of erectile dysfunction, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan speaks of the love stories that were not spoken about earlier but have always existed in our society. It revolves around how a conservative family comes to terms with the fact that their son is gay.
