Karan Johar to direct Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt in 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani'

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, on Monday, officially announced that he is all set to make his return to the director's chair with a new love story that is deeply embedded in the 'roots of family'. 

Karan took to his Instagram account to make the announcement and wrote, "Taking to his verified Instagram account, Karan posted a video writing, "Thrilled to get behind the lens with my favourite people in front of it! Presenting Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, headlined by none other than Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt and written by Ishita Moitra, Shashank Khaitan & Sumit Roy. This anokhi kahani is coming to your screens in 2022!"

The film stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. The actors too shared the post on their social media accounts. Incidentally, the news was shared on Ranveer Singh's birthday.

Ranveer shared the post and wrote, "A special announcement on my special day! Presenting - Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani along with my dazzling supernova Alia Bhatt, directed by the genre himself, kaleidoscopic visionary Karan Johar."

Karan's last directorial venture for the big screen was 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', which hit the theatres back in 2016. The movie starred actors Anushka Sharma, Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Fawad Khan.

In 2020, Karan had announced that he would be directing 'Takht', a period drama featuring Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. However, there has been no further update on this ambitious movie by the filmmaker.
