Karan Johar’s next Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh starrer to be titled Prem Kahani?

Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh are one of the most loved on-screen pairings after they featured in Gully Boy and reportedly they are going to be back together on screen with Karan Johar’s next. If the latest reports are to be believed then Karan Johar has put his ambitious period drama, Takht on hold as of now and he had started working on a romantic comedy that will star Ranveer and Alia. The rom-com is said to be titled Prem Kahani. While the film was all set to go on the floors in the month of May, the covid restrictions made it impossible.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers were on the lookout for a quirky yet relatable title and that’s when they zeroed in on Prem Kahani. The film is essentially a love story of two completely opposite characters, and the audience will get a glimpse of vintage Karan Johar, whose films at one point, were just meant to spread happiness, and take the audience in a fairy tale world.”

The development of the movie is already underway and the report further said that Karan, along with his team of writers has already locked the script and dialogue draft. “The first step is to get the crew vaccinated, and this will be followed by getting on the sets to kick off the first schedule. It’s all work in progress with set designing and other aspects being looked after in isolation. The music settings have also begun, as being a romantic saga, there lies ample of scope for good music,” the source further revealed.

Prem Kahani would mark Karan’s return to direction, after his last directorial which starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai and was titled Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, the source said, “Though a love story, this one is in a completely different space. While ADHM was intense, this one has ample comedy and fits in the definition of rom-coms that Bollywood, especially, the ones Dharma Productions is known for.”
