From Swiss Alps to Kashmir

The shoot of Karan Johar’s upcoming directorial venture, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, is complete, save for a song. Initially, Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh were to film the number in Europe. However, the shoot was deferred — first due to location issues, and then as the leading lady was in the family way. Since the romantic track could be filmed only after Alia welcomed her daughter with actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor, KJo had deferred the film’s release from February 2023 to April 2023. The filmmaker, who idolises Yash Chopra, wanted to shoot the song in the Swiss Alps, as a tribute to his late mentor. However, since Alia can’t leave daughter Raha behind for long, KJo has now reimagined the song and will film it in Kashmir. As an ode to the late Chopra’s songs, the number will see Alia flaunt chiffon sarees, while Ranveer will sport a suit.
