A while back we reported that filmmaker, Karan Johar has put his ambitious period drama, Takht and has started working on a light hearted romantic comedy. He pitched the story to Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, who readily gave a green light to Karan’s romantic universe. While the film was all set to go on the floors in May, the Covid pandemic put the project on hold. Now according to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the romantic comedy has been titled Prem Kahani.
The publication quoted a source as saying—”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 report also mentions that the prep work for the film has already kick-started as Karan and his writing partners have locked the script and the dialogue draft.
The film will mark Karan’s return to direction after four long years. His last outing as a director was Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai starrer Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
I am super excited about this and sure can’t wait to see what they have in store for us!
