About the film
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna directed by Karan Johar released on August 11, 2006. The film featured Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles. The film essayed the stories of two married couples. In an event in 2016, director Karan Johar admitted that Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna is a flawed film. “I will always regret some things… I think Kabhi Alvida has some of my favorite moments, personally, as a filmmaker. I regret… I think it’s a flawed film. And I think the mistakes in that film are entirely mine. I think I tried to do two things; I tried to do something fresh, and interesting, and ground-breaking, but halfway through I also got scared. So just like my sun sign, which is Gemini, I became two people. And I think I should’ve just been one person, with one solid conviction,” he added.
Karan Johar will be helming, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. The film stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead. Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, and Dharmendra will be seen in pivotal roles in the film.
