The film will be helmed by Amar Kaushik, the man who directed the hit horror comedy Stree starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor.
Ayushmann and Bhumi have starred before in Dum Laga Ke Haisha and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, both eccentric comedies and hit films. A press release said the film is set to go on floors in March next year and hit the big screens in September.
Producer Dinesh Vijan said in a statement, “Through their journey, the film impresses on the fact that most of us are usually attracted to outward beauty and dont go beyond that to understand the real person. Thats one of the reasons so many relationships are falling apart today.”

“Its a hilarious story but at the same time, it makes you think. The two characters are very interesting and easy to relate with, so is their small-town milieu,” he added.
This role would not be an uncharted territory for Anshumann Khurrana. He has consistently appeared in movies that touched taboo topics and bodily impairments.
