'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' releasing in February 2023
Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani gets a release date. Directed by Karan Johar, the film will hit the big screens on February 10, 2023. This marks the ace filmmaker's return to the director's chair after a good five years. The film features Ranveer Singh as Rocky, Alia Bhatt as Rani, Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra, and Shabana Azmi in pivotal roles. Here's more.
Why does the story matter?
As mentioned, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani marks Johar's directorial comeback, and while announcing the date, he said the film is "a love story at its heart with the soul of family values." We have seen this theme in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.... Both created history, so if this film clicks, the genre will effectively belong to him.
Could you catch the 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' aarti scene?
Alongside the announcement, the team also shared a video. In it, we see Johar being the master helmer, while Bhatt's sarees leave us stunned. Bachchan, on the other hand, takes us back to her role in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham by performing THE aarti ritual. A small portion also shows the Padmaavat actor planting a peck on Dharmendra's hand, as Bachchan looks on.
