Mumbai, June 20 (IANS) The makers of actor Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt-starrer 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' unveiled the trailer of the film on Tuesday, which has a blend of all elements that filmmaker Karan Johar is popularly known for.
With a runtime of 1 minute and 19 seconds, the teaser features fragmented visuals from the film sans any dialogue, held together by the high pitched vocal prowess of Arijit Singh, who earlier made a mark with 'Channa Mereya' from Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'.
The teaser shows beautiful imagery laced with grandeur which is the signature of all KJo movies.
The imagery also comes across as a collection of themes and elements that we have seen in the director's films like 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...' (can't ignore the monumental sets in family celebrations setting with a dash of song and dance), 'Student of the Year' ('Ishq Wala Love' visuals), 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' (a very out-there visual treatment from 'The Breakup Song') and the Durga puja sequence, the visual treatment which bears uncanny resemblance to that of the 'Deva Shree Ganesha' with regards to the colours and LUTS.
The teaser starts with a heady romance between the lead pair of Alia and Ranveer and culminates into a family drama.
The film stars an ensemble starcast of Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh and marks Karan Johar's return to direction seven years after his last outing 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'.
The teaser was launched on social media by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who is known to be a close friend of KJo, to mark 25 years of the latter in Bollywood.
Speaking on the sidelines of a media event on the occasion of his birthday, the 'Dil Chahta Hai' actor said: "Like a lot of people, the pandemic too gave me the time to contemplate and look back on what has happened so far in my life. I consider myself privileged to have reflected on this, it made me realize how fragile life is, how precious it is."
Along with its diverse features, the collection embraces creativity, passion and innovation in each element with a range that is appealing to the young generation of the day.
Calling the experience of working in the series a fulfilling one, she added, "Playing the character in Hotstar Specials' 'Aarya' has been a worthy and inspiring experience showcasing the relationship of a mother and of a woman who can hold the family together despite all odds."
Indian content has undergone a sea change in the past few decades where now women are not hired in films or audio - visual content purely based on pretty faces. Instead, its their ability to put up powerful performances that sets the roadmap ahead for a more just society one frame at a time.
The bombing has created widespread panic among the Ukrainians, who have turned subway stations into underground bunkers to stay safe during the ongoing skirmish.
