Ayushmann and Bhumi's new film is a remake of 2013 Tamil movie

schedule was shot in Delhi for a month. Some parts of the film will also expectedly be shot in Haridwar, where
Dum Laga Ke Haisha was filmed.
The
first look of Bhumi and Ayushmann was released in January when co-producer Aanad L Rai shared details about the storyline of the film. "
Shubh Mangal Saavdhan is a funny and layered story. These are the kind of stories I've identified with, right from the time I made Tanu Weds Manu. It is a simple narrative with an interesting bend and the reason I cast Ayushmann and Bhumi is that they fit the bill perfectly for this part. They are the sort of actors I could be friends with even if they didn't belong to the fraternity. They are simple and humble," Mr Rai had said.
Bhumi Pednekar will next be seen in
Toilet - Ek Prem Katha, co-starring Akshay Kumar while Ayushmann Khurrana is awaiting the release of
Meri Pyaari Bindu, also featuring Parineeti Chopra.
