Mirror had earlier reported (November 25) that Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal will headline Anurag Kashyap's next directorial Manmarziyan, which is being produced by Aanand L Rai. The film is a love triangle that will kick off in January, most likely in Himachal Pradesh. Now, Mirror has learnt that the love triangle has found its third angle in South star Dulquer Salmaan.
According to a source close to the development, the film's team had been scouting for a second actor opposite Taapsee's character after Vicky came on board and Dulquer fits the bill perfectly. Meanwhile, Dulquer is gearing up for his Hindi debut with Akash Khurana's Karwaan, also featuring Irrfan Khan and Mithila Palkar. The film has Irrfan and him playing friends who are on a road trip that begins in Ooty.
Manmarziyan was announced in 2015 by Aanand L Rai, who is known to be possessive about his stories, with Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar in the lead with Sameer Sharma as the director. However, the love story was shelved shortly after when Rai realised they weren't on the same page. The producer then revived it with Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari before surprising everyone by taking it to Anurag Kashyap.
