Karan Johar has announced his next directorial project, and he made the announcement today.
Revealing his decision to return to direction the filmmaker wrote, “This is the beginning of a new journey & my way back home – all at once. It’s time to go back to my favourite place, it’s time to create some eternal love stories from behind the lens. A very special story, truly immersed in the roots of love and family.”
Take a look at his post here:
After a five-year sabbatical, Karan Johar will return to the director’s chair. His last film was ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,’ which was released in 2016. The yet-to-be-titled romantic drama marks Jaya Bachchan’s comeback to the screen after a 12-year hiatus, since it will be her first full-fledged appearance in a Hindi film.
A source informed Pinkvilla, “Like all Karan Johar directorials, casting plays a key role on this one too and he has clear on having a formidable ensemble on board with actors from across generations. When he narrated the script to Jaya ji, it was an instant yes from her as she loved the character. The film in question is a rooted love story with strong family emotions.”
“The title of the film is centered around the two characters played by Ranveer and Alia. It’s essentially a Prem Kahani of the two leads,” the source added.
The official announcement will be made at 11am, Ranveer Singh’s birthday.
