Producer Kangana Ranaut speaks about casting Nawazuddin Siddiqui for Tiku Weds Sheru

The stars of the “Tiku Weds Sheru” trailer presentation, Manikarnika Films’ debut production, were Kangana Ranaut, Nawazuddin, and Avneet Kaur.

The producer of the new made-for-OTT movie “Tiku Weds Sheru,” Kangana Ranaut, has told a hilarious tale about how she got Nawazuddin Siddiqui to appear in the oddball love drama.

The premiere of the trailer for Manikarnika Films’ first project, “Tiku Weds Sheru,” included Kangana, Nawazuddin, and Avneet Kaur in the lead roles.

Talking about approaching Nawazuddin for the role of Sheru, Kangana Ranaut said: “I was looking for his number and people were telling me that he won’t sign anything for the coming five years, and he won’t even talk to anyone, but I thought he might sign if he hears something that he might like. Somehow, I got his number, and I messaged him that I wanted to meet him.”

Recalling her search for her hero, Kangana Ranaut continued: “Nawazuddin was in Bengaluru, and he asked me to come over, and I did. He was surprised that I actually went to Bangalore to meet him. I told him I have a script, and he was like, now that you are here, who needs a script, we will do a film. That was the entire conversation I had with Nawazuddin for ‘Tiku Weds Sheru’.”

The movie, which also stars Vipin Sharma and Zakir Hussain in the key parts, was directed by Sai Kabir and produced by Kangana Ranaut. As of June 23, it will be available on Prime Video.
