Bollywood ace filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari who last helmed the Kangana Ranaut starrer Panga was finally going to launch her debut novel next month. The novel titled ‘Mapping Love’ was to release on 21st May, but she has decided to postpone the same. The filmmaker shared the reason on social media that read, “Celebrating the words I have written in the fragrance of a book store. The joy of opening a just arrived box with a beautiful book inside that has a story to say. Like my movies, I dreamt of a similar togetherness. Of reading chapters amongst book lovers and making all of you a part of my happiness. But my journey of life keeps surprising us and in these trying times I don't feel right to release my debut novel, 'Mapping Love' on 21st May, 2021 when there are so many humans affected by this treacherous virus. I have decided to wait as time heals to see bright faces on a normal day and we rejoice the love for all beautiful forms of art once again. Sending love to each and everyone. Take care of yourselves and your young ones.”

Ashwiny has directed films like ‘Nil Battey Sannata’ starring Swara Bhaskar and ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ starring Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon.
