According to reports, the makers are calling Vicky-Manushi's film The Great Indian Family or TGIF. The film will mark Vicky's first foray into comedy. If reports of the film revolving around a dysfunctional family are true then the title TGIF serves the best.
While Vicky has earned a name for himself with his acting chops, Manushi has already made her mark by winning the Miss World 2017 crown, 17 years after Priyanka Chopra won the award and she got 'Prithviraj' on her merit as she prepared hard and delivered a fantastic audition.
Vicky has a busy year ahead. He will next be seen in the superhero film, The Immortal Ashwatthama, written and directed by Uri maker Aditya Dhar. The film is expected to go on floors later this year. Kaushal is also set to play Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in an upcoming Meghna Gulzar biopic.
