We all know about casting director Mukesh Chhabra making his debut as a director with Kizie Aur Manny. The film is a Hindi remake of Fault In Our Stars and the posters of the film were released earlier. The team was also shooting for the film but soon after, the director was accused of sexual harassment and he was suspended as the director of the film.
But now, Chhabra has been reinstated as the director of Kizie Aur Manny after all the allegations against him have been cleared.
A source 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 His arbitrary suspension has been revoked. In fact, the FWICE even sent a letter citing non-observance of the provisions of POSH Act in the enquiry procedure that was conducted post anonymous sexual harassment complaints that were falsely levied on Mukesh. 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 Singh in the lead and is scheduled to release in 2019.
