In an exciting new collaboration, AAZ Films and Bhanushali Studios have officially begun production on their first joint project—a family entertainer named Parivarik ManuRanjan. The film brings together the talented Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari for the first time, promising a heartwarming and humorous tale centered on a delightfully mismatched duo.

Production kicked off on June 5 in Lucknow, marking the start of what promises to be an engaging cinematic journey.

The screenplay is penned by Brijendra Kala and Varun Sharma, aiming to blend comedy and family drama seamlessly.

Sharing his enthusiasm, Pankaj Tripathi revealed, “The script’s charming simplicity and subtle humor instantly appealed to me. It’s a story that quietly wins your heart.

Aditi Rao Hydari echoed the excitement, saying, “Reading the script put a smile on my face throughout. It’s rare to find a story with such warmth, clever situational comedy, and unexpected twists. Collaborating with Pankaj sir, a master of this genre, will be an enriching experience and a true joy.”

Director Varun V Sharma expressed his connection with the project, stating, “Parivarik ManuRanjan is a story very close to me, rooted in the beautiful chaos and comedy of everyday life. Bringing Pankaj sir and Aditi together is a fresh combination, and we aim to deliver a film that is honest, heartfelt, and genuinely funny.”
