Mukesh Chhabra resumes work on ‘Kizie aur Manny’; read details

The #MeToo movement really shook Bollywood and it was one of the biggest stories of 2018. After Tanushree Dutta levelled allegations against Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her, the whole movement gathered momentum. After that, the likes of Alok Nath, Vikas Behl, Kailash Kher, Sajid Khan were also accused of sexual misconduct.

Mukesh Chhabra is a well-known casting director and was working on his maiden directorial ‘Kizie aur Manny’. After being accused of sexual harassment, Chhabra was suspended from the project. Now, as per the PinkVilla report, Mukesh Chhabra is back on the sets after being cleared by ICC & FWICE panels.

A source quoted by the publication said, “The ICC committee and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees didn’t find him guilty and he was soon reinstated as the director of ‘Kizie aur Manny’. His arbitrary suspension has been revoked. “

The source further added, “The filmmaker has been shooting the film for the last 2 weeks and will next travel to Paris in the first week of January for the next schedule of the film. Mukesh is back on the film and hasn’t let the ordeal affect his passion and zeal for the film. ‘Kizie aur Manny’ is turning out well and everyone is happy to put the episode behind them and continue making this passion project.”

‘Kizie aur Manny’ stars Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi in lead roles. The film is a remake of ‘Fault In Our Stars’. The #MeToo movement in Bollywood has raised a very important and pertinent question about women’s safety at the workplace.

The film is based on author John Green’s 2012 novel ‘The Fault in Our Stars’. ‘Kizie aur Manny’ is expected to hit the screens in 2019. On the work front, Sushant Singh Rajput was last seen in Abhishek Kapoor’s ‘Kedarnath’.
