Karan Johar stunned the audience with the release of his much-anticipated film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. While the film was praised for its performances, songs and storyline, it also addressed social issues in a humorous way. One of the key highlights of the film was the palpable chemistry between its lead actors. Now, director Karan Johar has finally reacted to the allegations and the comparison of the couple with the iconic pair of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
Before the release of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Ranveer-Alia’s chemistry in the film had come under scanner following the release of the film Tum Kya Mile, and people were quick to judge and suggested that the couple lacked chemistry.
In a recent interview with Film Companion, Karan Johar addressed the allegations and shared that Ranveer and Alia have impeccable chemistry. He 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 brilliant chemistry). How can you show chemistry in two minutes?”
Surprisingly, netizens had also compared Ranveer and Alia’s hair flip scene with that of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in Suraj Hua Maddham. The filmmaker reflected, “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…”
KJo also added that Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol are such iconic pair that it is not possible to match their chemistry. He said, “How can you live up to that? You can’t, right? But I still wanted to satisfy my urge to go to Kashmir and shoot a love song. Hoga comparison, of course hoga. Maine hi woh gaane banaye hain, main phirse kar raha hoon (Of course there’ll be comparisons. I made those songs, and now I’m doing it again).”
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is being lauded for Ranveer and Alia’s chemistry. The film is on its way to becoming a box office hit.
