Karan Johar`s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is making waves at the box office. Headlined by Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, it is a family rom-com. Much before its release, a section of people praised the lead pair and even called them the next Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. On the contrary, a group wrote them off for the lack of chemistry.
In an interview with Film Companion, director Karan reacted to both sides. Talking about the assumption that Alia and Ranveer lacked chemistry in the song, Tum Kya Mile, the filmmaker said, "Yeh kahaan se aaya mujhe samajh hi nahi aata, unki itni chemistry hai (I don’t know where this came from, they have such incredible chemistry). How can you show chemistry in two minutes? There was so much chatter about that hair flip. I didn’t even notice it, I was like, ‘Did he really move his head? Okay maybe.’ I saw it later."
