We have learned that Karan’s love story will star Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles. It will be Karan and Ranveer’s first movie together. As, Ranveer Singh’s birthday is on July 6, so that’s the reason for Karan announcing his next on Ranveer’s special day.

This will be the second movie of Ranveer and Alia. Earlier, they were seen in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy for which they were raved by the audiences and critics alike. So, are you excited about the movie?

Talking about Karan, his last directorial was Ae Dil Hai Mushkil that released in 2016. The movie starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Fawad Khan. In these five years, Karan had produced projects like Lust Stories, Ghost Stories, and other movies. His upcoming big movie as a producer is Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday’s Liger.

Karan’s Dharma Productions have given some of the iconic love stories in the past. Now, as KJo has returned after five years as the director, we are waiting with bated breath for his upcoming love story.
