The filmmaker's last full length feature film directorial was 2016 film 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Filmmaker Karan Johar will be again donning the director's hat after a gap of almost two years. Last, he had directed a part in the 2020 anthology 'Ghost Stories'. His upcoming star studded directorial has been titled 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani'. He says the coronavirus pandemic propelled him to make a 바카라quintessential Bollywood바카라 movie in 바카라Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani바카라 as his next directorial venture.
Written by Ishita Moitra, Shashank Khaitan and Sumit Roy, the love story marks the filmmaker바카라s return to film direction after the 2016 romantic drama 바카라Ae Dil Hai Mushkil바카라.The movie stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, alongside cinema veterans Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi.
Asked if he were to make his directorial debut in 2022 what kind of project he would choose, Johar said it would be something similar to his first film 바카라Kuch Kuch Hota Hai바카라, the 1998 romantic-comedy drama starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji.
The director said he tried experimenting in his filmography -- with drama in 바카라My Name Is Khan바카라, explore complex relationships in 바카라Ae Dil Hai Mushkil바카라 but chose to go back to a love story like 바카라Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani바카라.
바카라I did go through phases of evolution as a filmmaker. But right during the pandemic, I felt I just needed to make a movie that made me feel like I was 25 again.
바카라And when I was 25, the only movie I could think of or make was 바카라Kuch Kuch Hota Hai바카라, because it was like an accumulation of all the movies that I had grown up watching. It's a homage to Raj Kapoor, Yash Chopra, Sooraj Barjatya,바카라 the 49-year-old filmmaker said at ABP Networks Ideas of India Summit on Saturday evening.
With 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani', Johar said he is tapping into the quintessential Bollywood movie genre.
바카라We are all trying very hard to break the mould, to tear the envelope, and cross cinematic boundaries as filmmakers. But then we also have forgotten that there was an innocence and purity to what we are known as... the quintessential Bollywood, which has its heart on its sleeve, songs, it has dance for no reason, theatrics and drama that don바카라t seem real. I was like, let's do it again,바카라 he said.
Though the world of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' and 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' may not be completely the same, the director said he isn바카라t making anything different either.
바카라It is a love story, it has a family. It has Ranveer, Alia, senior members of the fraternity, Jaya ji, Shabana ji and Dharmendra ji in the movie. I'm going back to the same world.바카라
The team commenced filming for the movie in August last year.'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' is expected to be released sometime this year.
