Kangana's Production Debut Tiku Weds Sheru Release Set On Amazon Prime
Kangana, labelling her film as "COVID-19 baby" since it was conceptualised during the second wave of the pandemic, said that the digital space is the "most democratic medium". She also said the influx of OTT platforms is a boon for budding producers like her.
"It is a great time for all us budding producers, for us who are working professionals and we always find a reason to dodge our dreams and say that we will do it next year. This is the most democratic medium, all you need is talent," the actor-producer was quoted saying during the event. She also added, "I was COVID struck, the kind of support we got from Amazon, kudos to them. We are keen to showcase the film to you."
The upcoming romantic drama is also a dark satire film which was also written by Sai Kabir under her film banner. The film stars Avneet Kaur and Nawazuddin Siddique in the lead roles of Tiku and Sheru respectively. The film will see Avneet play the role of a Muslim girl in rural life whose life gets entangled with that of a man who is twice her age.
Kangana said that this is one of the USPs of the film; when the producer was asked to describe the film in one line, she said that it's a simple love story set against the backdrop of real people with real struggles.
