Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani marks director Karan Johar's follow-up to his film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The principal actors of the movie, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, were previously seen in Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy. Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi will all play significant roles in the movie.
One song needs to be shot even though the actors have finished filming; this will happen when Alia Bhatt gives birth to her first kid. The film's release date has not yet been decided upon; it was initially slated for February 2023. Karan, though, is happy with how the movie is coming together. In an interview, Karan Johar referred to his upcoming film as a "joyous" one. “The film is a joyous film, in my opinion, I hope that everybody else believes that. I just think that I'm very privileged to have been able to work with Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, and Dharmendra, besides Ranveer and Alia. We have an amazing cast from Kolkata as well. We have Churni Ganguli and Tota Roy Chowdhury. I've worked with Aamir Bashir, Kshitee Jog, and an actress called Anjali Anand. We have so many interesting new actors and it's a massive ensemble, a family love story. It has all the elements in the film that I have loved watching and always having as part of my films. The songs and the dances – it a celebratory film and I can't wait for actually everyone to kind of dig themselves into the world of Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.”
The release date for the 2023 film Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi, has not yet been announced. The director also intends to helm an action comedy, with plans to begin filming in April 2023.
