It
is
common
knowledge
that
a
large
part
of
Imtiaz
Ali's
Jab
We
Met
has
been
shot
in
Punjab
(near
Patiala)
and
that
Shahid
and
Kareena
even
have
Punjabi
dialogues
to
mouth
as
both
essay
Punjabi
characters,
Aditya
and
Geet.
"While
Aditya
and
Geet
are
essentially
metropolitan,
the
moment
they
reach
Punjab
in
the
film,
one
can
see
their
true
north-Indian
colours
with
Shahid
in
his
pathani-style
kurta-pyjama
and
Kareena
in
her
salwar-kameez.
Both
of
them
were
looking
forward
to
playing
Punjabi
characters
for
the
first
time,
and
were
in
fact,
even
shooting
a
film
in
Punjab
for
the
first
time",
remarks
director
Imtiaz
Ali.
Interestingly,
Shahid
and
Kareena's
real-life
lineage
also
finds
itself
in
Punjab.
Both
Pankaj
Kapoor
and
Randhir
Kapoor
are
Punjabis.
Jab
We
Met
releases
worldwide
on
October
26.
It
is
being
distributed
overseas
by
Studio
