Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani first posters: Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt feature in lead roles alongside veteran actors Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi.
Earlier this year, filmmaker Karan Johar completed the shoot of his upcoming directorial venture Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. The family drama features Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles. On Thursday, the cast and makers released Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’s first look. This is Karan’s first film as a director since 2016’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which had featured Anushka Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor. Karan Johar also turned 51 on Thursday.
Taking to Instagram, Karan Johar wrote, “An absolute ‘heartthrob’, who wears his own heart on his sleeve – meet Rocky! Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in cinemas 28th July, 2023…” In the poster, Ranveer wore funky sunglasses and a gold chain around his neck. He also showed his ripped body in the almost bare-chested image as he wore an animal printed shirt and gave a goofy expression. In another poster, Ranveer Singh wore a studded leather jacket.
Alia Bhatt sported kohl-rimmed eyes, black bindi and a huge nose ring in the first look posters of her Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani avatar. Sharing her images on Instagram, Karan wrote, “Ladies and gentlemen, the queen is here to steal your hearts – meet Rani!” Fans loved her different look. One wrote, “We are ready!!!” One said, “Ufffffffff (heart eyes emojis).” Another praised Alia, and said, “Gorgeous as always.”
Karan captioned the post, “Nothing but gratitude for the magical 25 years I have spent in the director’s chair. I learnt, I grew, I wept, I laughed – I lived. And tomorrow, another piece of my heart will be yours to see and I could not be more ecstatic as I celebrate my birthday with you all. With a kahaani (story) that has prem (love) written all over it…”
Dharma Productions’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, written by Ishita Moitra, Shashank Khaitan and Sumit Roy, will be released on July 28.
