The
Karan
Johar
directorial
Rocky
Aur
Rani
Ki
Prem
Kahani
starring
Alia
Bhatt
and
Ranveer
Singh
in
the
lead
roles
is
inevitably
one
of
the
most
awaited
films
on
the
block.
The
fans
were
sent
into
a
frenzy
when
the
movie
was
announced
in
July
2021.
The
movie
also
stars
legendary
actors
like
Dharmendra,
Shabana
Azmi
and
Jaya
Bachchan
in
the
lead
roles.
There
were
many
speculations
that
the
movie
is
touted
to
be
a
quirky
romantic
comedy
but
now
Karan
has
spilt
some
beans
regarding
the
genre
of
the
project.
In
a
recent
interaction,
Karan
Johar
said
that
the
movie
is
a
family
drama
and
not
a
romantic
comedy.
Talking
to
Film
Companion
about
the
same,
the
filmmaker
said,
"It's
a
family
dramedy.
It's
not
a
rom-com.
Quintessentially,
at
heart,
it
is
a
family
dramedy.
It's
got
comedy,
love,
but
it's
a
family
movie.
It's
a
film
about
their
grandparents,
their
parents
and
themselves.
It
is
of
course
Rocky
Aur
Rani
Ki
Prem
Kahani
but
it's
also
about
Rocky
Aur
Rani's
grandparents,
it's
also
about
Rocky
Aur
Rani's
parents.
There's
a
lot
of
interplay
of
relationships
in
the
film."
Apart
from
this,
Karan
Johar
also
said
how
Rocky
Aur
Rani
Ki
Prem
Kahani
has
allowed
him
to
tick
some
things
off
his
bucket
list.
The
Kal
Ho
Na
Ho
director
said,
"I'm
really
excited
to
work
with
cinema
veterans.
There's
Dharamji,
Shabana
Ji
and
Jaya
Ji
all
together.
I
have
never
worked
with
Dharamji
and
Shabana
Ji
ever,
nor
has
the
company
and
I'm
vastly
excited
to
actually
be
able
to
direct
them.
Many
many
ticks
on
my
bucket
list.
With
Jaya
aunty,
of
course,
I've
done
a
lot
of
work
before
and
I'm
excited
to
be
back
with
her
on
set.
More
than
anything
else,
I'm
excited
to
be
back
on
set.
Excited
to
be
directing
a
feature
film."
Talking
about
the
movie,
it
will
be
produced
by
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions
and
will
be
penned
by
Ishita
Moitra,
Shashank
Khaitan
and
Sumit
Roy.
The
makers
also
gave
a
glimpse
of
the
first
day
of
the
shoot
wherein
Ranveer
Singh
and
Alia
Bhatt
looked
in
their
best
avatars.
The
film
is
scheduled
to
release
in
the
year
2022.
