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.
Shibani and Farhan, who had been dating since 2018, tied the knot on February 19 in an intimate affair on the outskirts of Mumbai. Born in Pune and raised in Australia and Africa, Shibani acted in Farhan's sister Zoya Akhtar's 2015 film 'Roy', starring Ranbir Kapoor.
The designers kept the thematic essence of the film in mind as well as creating a look that was a modern classic. It took approximately three thousand and four hundred man hours and a team of twenty five master karigars to complete the saree which features delicate handcrafted embroideries referenced from archival Edwardian and French Lace Shawls.
Actress Rani Mukerji, whose mother Krishna Mukherjee was a childhood friend of Bappi Lahiri, has mourned the death of the late veteran music composer, who is popularly called as the 'Disco King', and said that he will always be the most iconic musical personality of Indian cinema.
'Gehraiyaan' is a slow-burn, captivating, noir drama that draws you into its immersive narrative, which tells us, "Life is all about choices. ... Let's put all this behind us and move on."
Palekar has also worked and contributed to Marathi mainstream films and parallel cinema, made his debut in 1971 with the film 'Shantata! Court Chalu Aahe'. He then stepped into Bollywood with Basu Bhattacharya's 'Rajnigandha' opposite Rakhee in 1974.
But Sobti, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 74 in New Delhi, became briefly famous when he played the Pandava strongman Bhim in B.R. Chopra's iconic television serial 'Mahabharat'.
