Karan Johar’s next ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ is all set to release in the theatres soon. The film, which stars Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi, is expected to have a number of song and dance sequences in quintessential Bollywood style.
On Wednesday, the team dropped the first song from the film ‘Tum Kya Mile’, which has been shot in Kashmir. Ahead of the song release, Karan took to social media to mention how the song is his ‘unabashed homage’ to his guru Yash Chopra.
“In a few hours #tumkyamile will be yours…. I remember at the very onset my instinct was that I wanted to film a love song that would unabashadely pay homage to my guru Yash Chopra…. The thinking evolved mind would say “you can’t match it or even dare to emulate it “ but the fan boy and the ardent lover of snow , chiffons, the stunning locations of Kashmir and sheer romance got the better of me,” he wrote.
Check out the song here:
Lauding Alia and Ranveer, Karan mentioned how the song was the first shoot Alia did after the birth of her daughter, and apologised for ‘freezing her in chiffons’. He then called Ranveer a ‘real trooper’.
“This is also the first shoot Alia did after the birth of her angel and I remain in apology for freezing her in Manish Malhotra chiffons … in sympathy I fell drastically ill through the shoot ( a karmic punishment perhaps ) Ranveer was nervous as this was his first lip sync mountain love song but he was a real trooper,” he said.
“So we are back to the valleys for a ishq wala lip sync chiffon saree song…I hope you feel the love as much as we felt the cold…This one’s for you Yash uncle …Your fan forever , Karan,” Karan added.
While Alia Bhatt dropped a series of hearts on Karan’s post, Rakulpreet Singh wrote, “I cannnnnnot stop humming this song ever since the trailer dropped !! Can’t wait can’t wait .”
‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani 'will release in cinema halls on July 28.
