Talking about the film, Tripathi shared his thoughts: “There’s something endearing about the simplicity and humor in this script. It’s the kind of story that doesn’t shout but stays with you because of its warmth. Working with Aditi for the first time is exciting — she’s a talented actor I’ve long admired. I’m also thrilled to be teaming up with Varun Sharma and Ali Abbas Zafar, and the producers who believed in this kind of storytelling.”

Aditi Rao Hydari, who has charmed audiences with her emotive performances, is equally excited.

“When I read the script, I couldn’t stop smiling. It’s rare to find a story like this — full of warmth, unexpected twists, and gentle humor. And to work alongside someone like Pankaj sir, who’s a master of situational comedy, is a real gift. I know I’m going to learn a lot.”

Director Varun V. Sharma, previously known for his work on ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’, describes ‘Parivarik ManuRanjan’ as a personal project: “This film is rooted in the comedy and chaos of everyday life. With Pankaj sir and Aditi bringing their magic to the screen, I believe we have something truly heartfelt and entertaining.”
