Who
would
think
that
13
years
have
passed
since
the
first
time
this
jodi
came
together?
At
that
time,
the
director
was
merely
the
scion
of
a
great
filmmaking
family
and
the
star
was
best
known
for
taking
on
negative
roles
that
no
one
else
would.
Then
the
magic
they
conjured
up
in
their
first
film
together,
redefined
Hindi
cinema
and
set
them
on
their
respective
paths
to
the
heights
of
glory.
Now
13
years
after
Dilwale
Dulhaniya
Le
Jayenge
first
took
the
country
by
storm,
and
eight
years
after
Mohabbatein,
the
jodi
of
Aditya
Chopra,
superstar
director,
and
Shahrukh
Khan,
superstar
actor
are
together
again,
this
time
for
the
latest
from
Aditya
Chopra
as
director,
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
with
newcomer
Anushka
Sharma
who
joined
in
on
the
first
day
of
shoot.
It
was
evident
that
Shahrukh
Khan
was
approaching
this
new
role
with
his
old
comrade,
with
as
much
gusto
and
passion
as
ever.
"Starting
the
first
day
of
shooting
is
what
still
gives
me
goose
bumps
like
nothing
else," said
King
Khan.
"And
to
make
films
with
Yash
Raj,
that
too
when
Adi
is
directing,
is
an
experience
that
is
more
than
100%
exciting.
Yash
Raj
Films
is,
and
will
always
be,
home
for
me
and
who
doesn't
love
coming
home?
Yash
ji
and
Adi
have
always
given
me
roles
that
have
gotten
me
love
and
appreciation
from
fans
all
over
the
world.
And
this
time
Adi
has
again
written
a
character
for
me
to
play
that
I
think
will
become
as
beloved
as
Raj
of
DDLJ
was.
I
am
going
to
be
trying
as
usual
to
hit
it
out
of
the
park
with
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi."
And
with
these
words,
Shahrukh
Khan
signed
off
from
the
first
day
of
shooting,
conveying
to
the
world
that
something
special
was
in
the
air,
the
most
awaited
film
of
the
year
was
rolling
as
planned,
and
the
Aditya
Chopra
-
Shahrukh
Khan
jodi
was
again
creating
that
little
bit
of
magic!
Newcomer
Anushka
Sharma
who
was
eagerly
looking
forward
to
this
day…the
first
day
of
shoot,
for
her
the
dream
has
just
begun!
Yash
Chopra
was
also
present
on
the
sets
of
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
on
the
first
day
of
shoot
to
bless
his
son
and
the
unit
at
the
onset
of
this
new
production.
