Karan Johar about the film
At the film’s success press conference, PTI quoted Karan as saying, “When we represent Rocky and Rani through the song Tum Kya Mile, we take a leaf out of the glorious book of SRK and Kajol and their love songs. But you have to change the tonality of love and romance to match our times today. And Rocky and Rani may be rooted and embedded in the heartbeat of the family but we brought something new…I do know that this is now a love story benchmark.”
Karan, who returned to direction after 2016’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, said his heart is full of all the love and critical acclaim coming his way, and it has made him feel like he has made his debut all over again. “I had been busy this last week only receiving love and it’s in abundance. I don’t think I had that feeling of joy in my career. There was a seven-year gap and I had forgotten what it was like to direct a film and receive feedback,” the had added.
