Taapsee is currently caught up with the filming for her next film with Rishi Kapoor titled Mulk and Sujoy Ghosh's Badla with Amitabh Bachchan. Vicky, on the other hand, is busy filming for Uri alongside Yami Gautam in Serbia. But the two Manmarziyaan co-stars made time to indulge in a fun Twitter banter yesterday evening with their producer.
They questioned their producer for the release date of Manmarziyaan in an interesting way - with puns referring to their on-going film and by using the hashtag '#HumaraFridayKabAayega'.

Soon the lead actor Abhishek, too, joined the banter. He replied to Vicky's tweet saying "Humare baare me bhi toh socho" and so began an entire Twitter chain for Manmarziyaan's release date.

The film is said to be exploring a different shade of love. Previously the film was slated to release on September 7, 2018. However, it has now been pushed further by two weeks. Filmmaker JP Dutta's flick Paltan is also set to release on the previously slated date. Abhishek who will be making his comeback on the big screen after a long hiatus of over two years was keen on avoiding a date clash with Dutta's film, in which he has initially offered a role, but he refused. The reason given was that the actor wanted to return as the leading man and in a positive light in his comeback film. Dutta also happens to be the one who directed Abhishek in his debut film Refugee in 2000.
However, Manmarziyaan will now lock horns with Shahid Kapoor's Batti Gul Meter Chalu.
