Tiku Weds Sheru is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language satirical romantic comedy-drama film.[3] The film is produced by Kangana Ranaut, written and directed by Sai Kabir under the banner of Manikarnika Films. It stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Avneet Kaur in lead roles.[4][5] The film premiered on 23 June 2023 on Amazon Prime Video. The film was initially titled as “Divine Lovers”, with Irrfan Khan and Kangana Ranaut as main leads in 2016.[9] The film got stalled because director Sai Kabir felt severely ill for three to four years. When the filmmaker went back to working on the script, Irrfan passed away in April 2020. Kangana was also not in the same frame of mind that she was eight to ten years ago.[10] Hence they decided to bring in a new cast.[11] The film is Kangana’s maiden production after the launch of her production house in 2020. After Irrfan Khan’s demise, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was cast for the male lead,[13][14] and Avneet Kaur was finalized as the female lead.[15] Besides the fresh pairing, casting brought to the fore the old debate of the huge age gap between the male and the female actor.[16] On this, Ranaut expressed that she overlooked 27-year age gap between the stars as the pair seemed her well-suited for the storyline,[17] and Kaur stated that she does not see the age gap as a problem as it was a requirement for the film.
