'Yeh Jawaani...' stars to join Kartik-Sharvari in 'Tu Meri...': Report
What's the story
A decade after Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani's (YJHD) release, reports indicate its cast members may reunite for special appearances in the upcoming romantic drama Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Teri Tu Mera.
The film, produced by Karan Johar and directed by Sameer Vidwans, stars Kartik Aaryan and Sharvari in lead roles.
The potential inclusion of YJHD's Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Kalki Koechlin is Dharma Productions's first foray into cinematic crossovers.
Crossover strategy
'YJHD' cameos 'seems like a natural progression'
An insider told Mid-Day, "Since this film is a rom-com and is along the lines of YJHD, this move seems like a natural progression."
"They are contemplating roping in the original stars for special appearances. Even if all of them aren't available, they will try to get two of them to be part of it. These cameos will be a delightful nod to the beloved film."
Audience appeal
Johar's plan to attract Gen Z and millennials
Johar is said to be hoping to rope in both Gen Z and millennial audiences with this move.
The source added, "Apart from the fact that the actors' dates must match, their introduction into the film needs to be seamless, not forced. That will be addressed during the writing process."
This comes after YJHD's successful re-release, which earned ₹10cr weeks ago.
Notably, Tu Meri... was reported to feature Sreeleela opposite Aaryan, but it seems Sharvari has been locked in.
