What happens

Oh Manapenne! (pronounced [maɳappeɳɳeː] transl. Oh Dear Bride!) is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film directed by Kaarthikk Sundar in his directorial debut and written by Deepak Sundarrajan. A remake of the Telugu film Pelli Choopulu (2016), it stars Priya Bhavani Shankar and Harish Kalyan as a girl and boy who meet during a matchmaking event. How their aspirations bring them together forms the rest of the story. The rights to remake Pelli Choopulu in Tamil were initially acquired by Gautham Vasudev Menon in 2016, and the film titled Pon Ondru Kandein (transl. I saw a girl) was to be directed by Senthil Veerasamy, with Vishnu Vishal and Tamannaah Bhatia starring. The project faced delays and was ultimately shelved due to budgetary constraints; by November 2019, it had undergone a complete change in cast and crew. The new film, Oh Manapenne!, was shot between December 2019 and February 2020. It was released on 22 October 2021 via Disney+ Hotstar. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
