Mukesh Chhabra, Sanjana Sanghi send birthday wishes for Fault In Our Stars writer

While remakes have become quite a norm in Bollywood, the remake of Hollywood superhit Fault In Our Stars (2014), titled Kizie Aur Manny, seems to be highly awaited by the Indian audience.

In fact, the author of the original film, John Green, has been tweeting about the Mukesh Chhabra directorial ever since the project was announced a couple of months back. So, as Green turns a year older today, director Chhabra, as well as lead actress Sanjana Sanghi, took to wishing him on Twitter.


Fox Star Studios, who is producing the film, posted on their official handle, “Thank you for giving the world a story that struck a chord, and for helping us find our infinity. #HappyBirthday @johngreen." The same tweet was retweeted by Mukesh as well as Sanjana.

In fact, Sanjana also posted, “Because some birthdays are bigger than other birthdays. Happy Birthday @johngreen," while Mukesh posted to the man who redefined okay for us. Happy birthday @johngreen!"

Not only is India eagerly waiting for the Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi starrer Kizie Aur Manny, Green, too, seems to be unable to control his excitement for the film.

How do we know this? Well! Green has often taken to Twitter to express his excitement regarding its release. In April this year, he tweeted, “I can't believe this is happening. Amazing!” after the news of Sanjana getting cast went viral.

Later, in July again he tweeted about Kizie Aur Manny. “I want to see this movie more than I have ever wanted to see any movie," tweeted Green.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
