"We shall try our best not to let you down," read Sushant Singh Rajput's tweet for author John Green, whose book The Fault In Our Stars is the inspiration of his upcoming film Kizie Aur Manny. The 32-year-old actor, who will be playing one of the two protagonists - Augustus Waters's character - in the Hindi adaptation of the book, tweeted: "It's such a wonderful book John, thanks once again for writing it. While we shoot, the roller coaster is just going up, my friend." After the makers had shared the first look of the film on social media, John Green had tweeted this along with the poster: "I want to see this movie more than I have ever wanted to see any movie."
