“Tiku Weds Sheru is a very special film for me, as it’s the first title under Manikarnika Films. This is the first time I took charge as a producer and I absolutely enjoyed the process. It was a challenging-yet-enriching experience for me,” said creative producer Kangana Ranaut in a statement issued to the media.
“Here’s my first production under my own banner… Hold tight for a hilarious joyride filled with love, dreams, and non-stop laughter as Tiku & Sheru chase their ultimate Bollywood dream! 💗,” the actor-turned-producer tweeted.
“Two aspiring actors and the ultimate Bollywood dream as love seeps in unexpectedly 👀,” Manikarnika Films Production noted on Twitter.
“Comedy dramas are a sheer joy to watch, they take you through a wheel of emotions. Tiku Weds Sheru will not only leave people with exuberance and merriment with its carefully crafted characters but will also keep them invested in this heartwarming story of shared passion,” said Aparna Purohit, head of India originals, Prime Video.
“We are delighted to partner with Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika Films for this lilting comedy-drama about dreams, passion and transformation – a fun-filled ride brought to life by Avneet and Nawaz, who play Tiku and Sheru, respectively. We are confident that the film will resonate with audiences across the globe,” Purohit added.
Announced in 2021, along with the launch of Manikarnika Films, the shooting for Tiku Weds Sheru was wrapped up last year. However, the release got postponed.
