Comment:

 Hi @dipakbbsr, thanks for the report. It's interesting that there are
 encoding differences in the two serialized examples you provided, which
 might account for some strange behavior, but the intermediate sizes are
 created during this line, which should be consistent with what happens in
 the back end:

 {{{#!php
 wp_update_attachment_metadata( $upload_id,
 wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $upload_id, $new_file_path ) );
 }}}

 It could be a problem with the load order of the files, noting that you're
 manually including `wp-admin/includes/image.php` and some required
 functionality for properly handling resizing might not be available.

 At this point, I would generally suggest trying to use the REST API for
 uploading files from the front end. You might find some helpful info here:
 https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/209928/add-media-with-wp-
 rest-api-v2. Trying to handle the upload process manually falls outside
 the scope of what I would consider supported behavior.

 I'm going to go ahead and close this for now, but if you do find that
 there is a specific bug in the way the metadata is generated that you
 think _should_ be supported, please feel free to reopen with more details.

 Thanks!
