Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar: Not Shraddha Kapoor, Deepika Padukone Was The First Choice For The Film? Here's Why Deepika Backed Out ...

Luv Ranjan, the filmmaker of ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama,’ is back with ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar,’ a new romantic comedy starring Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor. The movie, which had been in production for several years, ultimately debuted on March 8, 2023 in theatres. We present intriguing trivia as critics and viewers are giving the movie a mixed bag of favourable reviews. For ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar,’ Shraddha Kapoor wasn't the original option. Well, Deepika Padukone was there.

RK and Ajay Devgn were cast in the director's movie sometime in 2019. DP was hired when Ajay withdrew from the project due to unavoidable reasons. The director allegedly rewrote the script after finding new casting and started a rom-com.

Here’s The Reason Why Deepika Dropped ‘TJMM’

Deepika Padukone was spotted outside filmmaker Luv Ranjan's home in July 2019, which sparked rumours that she will soon be joining Ranbir Kapoor. While the producers had not yet released an official statement, DP's name started to trend on Twitter. Yup, you are correct. Owing to Luv Ranjan's involvement in the ‘#MeToo’ movement, Deepika's supporters started the Twitter hashtag ‘#NotMyDeepika,’ pleading with her to decline his forthcoming movie.

Deepika Padukone's admirers were observed criticising her for her morals and beliefs soon after her covert rendezvous. Some even requested that the actress rethink her decision to work with Luv Ranjan.

Luv Ranjan Speaks About Of Being Accused Of ‘#MeToo’

Luv Ranjan was accused of sexual misconduct in 2018 for the uninitiated. Later, in an interview, he expressed regret and revealed, “It doesn’t matter that I believe I haven’t done anything wrong. What matters is that someone has felt wronged.”

Deepika Padukone withdrew from the Luv Ranjan movie in response to fan requests, and Shraddha Kapoor ultimately won the role. The director-producer never addressed their discussions or what went wrong between them later, not even in an interview.

The film's current working title is ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar,’ and its box office performance has been mediocre.
