It's official: Ranbir, Aishwarya, Anushka in Kjo's next 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'
Mumbai: It's official now! Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anushka Sharma will top line Karan Johar’s next directorial venture which he has been working on for a while now. Karan Johar on his return to Mumbai after his extended New York trip had a narration with all the actors to which they immediately agreed.
Ranbir Kapoor is already committed to a film produced by Karan Johar’s banner, which will be directed by Ayan Mukerji. Karan Johar, while shooting for 'Bombay Velvet' saw the chemistry of Ranbir and Anushka which he felt would work very well for his next. As for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, it will be her first time working with Karan Johar. In an interview with Bombay Times, Karan Johar has admitted that it was his dream to work with the actress. He was quoted saying, "I have always wanted to work with Aishwarya. She and I have missed working with each other on several opportunities. I had first offered her Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and at that time, she was doing Jeans. There was a juncture when I thought Kajol would not do Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham as she had just got mar ried. But I remember Kajol and I had this emotional moment. She did the film and I landed up not calling Aishwarya. Then at one juncture, I wanted to cast her in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and things didn't work. It's been a hit-and-miss scenario with her literally . This time we hit it, literally. And it's a very special role."
The film is titled 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,' which is a love story. Talking about the subject he was quoted as, " Love is the theme and conflict of my next directorial endeavor. It is too early to talk about the film, but for now, all I want to say is that it is not a conventional love story or love triangle. It's a film that dwells deeply on relationships, heartbreaks and how love completes you, defines you and yet leaves you wanting for more. I have never had, in my entire career, a film that has come to me so fast, so organically and so from within."
DC had told you last week the possiblity of the three actors coming together for this mega project to be helmed by Karan Johar. Kjo has already locked the release date and it will be out on June 3, 2016. Music director Pritam has been roped in and this is his second collaboration with Dharma Productions after 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani'.
