Interesting to see Maniesh Paul in a film by Vikram Phadnis—he's known more for fashion, but clearly he's bringing that creative vision to directing. The black and white set photos look promising. Hope this movie lives up to the hype!

Maniesh Paul's evolution from TV actor to a Bollywood star is something to admire. "Mickey Virus" was such a fun film! Now with this project and 'Vvan' alongside Sidharth Malhotra, seems like he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. All the best! 🙌

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical—Vikram Phadnis is a fashion designer, not a seasoned filmmaker. Hope Maniesh's faith in him pays off. But then again, sometimes fresh perspectives create magic. Let's wait and watch! 🤞

So happy for Maniesh! He's one of those rare talents who can do comedy and serious roles with equal ease. And Tahir Raj Bhasin is also in this? That's a solid cast. 'Vvan' also sounds intriguing—folklore genre is finally getting attention in Bollywood!

Maniesh Paul's journey is a reminder that persistence pays off. From hosting shows to leading roles and now working with directors like Shashank Khaitan and Deepak Mishra—he's come a long way. But I do hope he chooses more varied roles; he has the potential to do much more than just comic parts.
