Karan Johar has roped in
Ranveer Singh for his next directorial and the love story was announced on the latter’s birthday today. While
KJo
is all gung-ho about working with Ranveer, there was a time when the filmmaker was unimpressed with the actor. When Ranveer visited Karan’s popular chat show a decade ago, the filmmaker had revealed that he was not impressed with Ranveer’s looks. While Aditya Chopra insisted that Ranveer would be a powerhouse entertainer, Karan felt that no one would see ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’, thanks to the poster.
In the same conversation, KJo later revealed that after watching the movie, he was floored with Ranveer and Anushka Sharma’s performances and was keen to work with them. Cut to a decade later and Ranveer has bagged his first ever film with Karan as the director. After a gap of five years, Karan Johar is returning to call the shots with Alia Bhatt and Ranveer essaying the leads. Announcing the film KJo had shared, “Thrilled to get behind the lens with my favourite people in front of it! Presenting
Rocky
Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, headlined by none other than Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt and written by Ishita Moitra, Shashank Khaitan & Sumit Roy. Yes, it's a love story, but no - it's not your regular love story. Rocky and Rani are going to redefine your usual love stories to take you on a journey!" An excited Ranveer Singh had also shared, “A special announcement on my special day! Presenting - Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani along with my dazzling supernova Alia Bhatt, directed by the genre himself, kaleidoscopic visionary Karan Johar, & written by Ishita Moitra, Shashank Khaitan & Sumit Roy."
