Filmmaker Karan Johar after much anticipation have announced the release date of the new film Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. The film is slated to hit the theaters in April 28 next year which will interestingly mark his return as a director after seven long years. The method of announcing the dates was quite unique. The director chose to launch the date in the form of poetry. Ranveer Singh and Ali Bhatt will be seen in the lead roles.
Karan’s written note read: “After 7 years, it’s time for me to return to my first home – the cinemas. I had the absolute honour of working with not one, but many illustrious actors on the set of my film. The familial nostalgic feeling of an ensemble cast, creating music that captivates the hearts and a story that runs deep to the roots of our family traditions. It’s that time again -to huddle with your family and friends, buy the popcorn and witness just sheer love & entertainment unfold on the big screen. We’re overwhelmed and impatiently excited to finally inform… Rocky and Rani Ki Prem Kahani in cinemas on 28th April 2023.”
Two hours before the post was shared, Karan took to his Instagram and stated some interestingly facts about the cast which includes Ranveer, Alia, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan. The music has been composed by Pritam and Amitabh Bhattacharya is the lyricist.
The poem read: “7 years ke baad, ishq hoga aabaad, Pritam ka sur aur sangeet, Amitabh Bhattacharya matching every beat! Alia hogi film mein guys wah!!! Isn’t that a surprise?! Machayega dhoom sada Ranveer… what a pair, what a tasveer! Jaya ji in an undekha avatar, Shabana ji se ho jaayega pyaar! Dharam ji ka swag is intact hum aa rahe hai, that is a fact! To kijiye intezaar shaam ka, mere dil se nikle paigaam ka! for every age… buzurg to jawaani… Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.”
The translation read: “Love will be revived after 7 years with music by Pritam and Amitabh Bhattacharya matching his tune. Alia will star in the film and Ranveer will have a blast, what a pair, what a film. Jaya will be in an unseen avatar and you will fall in love with Shabana. Dharmendra’s swag is still intact, we are coming and this is a fact. So wait for the evening for my message. This film is for every age group – young ones to senior citizens).”
