Viral clip reveals Ranbir Kapoor's enchanting connection with the soulful Kun Faya Kun song on the sets of Rockstar.

Karan Johar, the renowned Bollywood producer-director, lauds Alia Bhatt's acting journey, highlighting that her true launch as an artist was with Imtiaz Ali's directorial 'Highway.' The filmmaker expresses gratitude to Imtiaz Ali for shaping Alia's evolution as an actor, emphasizing the impact of 'Highway' on her artistic journey.

Today marks 12 years of Rockstar and on this occasion, we can see Nargis Fakhri, director of the movie Imtiaz Ali and the lyricist Irshad Kamil sharing their thoughts on Instagram while the audience has gone back in time.

Kareena Kapoor Khan is synonymous with Geet. The Bhatinda Sikhni jo ‘Apni favorite’ hai. Jab We Met is a classic rom-com helmed by Imtiaz Ali, and the film, which starred Shahid Kapoor as well, won millions of hearts with a phenomenal storyline and chartbuster songs.

She became an overnight star after Om Shanti Om and during that time also got offered Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal opposite Saif Ali Khan. Kareena Kapoor was eager to do the film as Saif (who she was dating) was the producer and after Jab We Met, she wanted to work with Imtiaz Again.

Jab We Met starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan was released on October 26, 2007. The film clocked 16 glorious years of release today, October 26, 2023. Even after all these years, the Imtiaz Ali directorial has not lost its popularity.

In an earlier interview, filmmaker Imtiaz Ali revealed his initial desire to cast Sunny Deol for his 2014 film Highway, envisioning a mainstream storyline on a grand scale. However, Imtiaz decided to challenge himself by attempting to create a film using just a camera and a compelling story, which ultimately led to the creation of Highway in the form we saw in theatres.

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali feels that his 2020 film Love Aaj Kal, starring Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan, had a great story, but it couldn’t ‘express’ itself well. And hence, the movie failed to attract cine-goers to movie halls.

The movie garnered bad reviews and did poorly both critically and commercially. Imtiaz Ali claimed in an interview that he deliberately set out to make an "ordinary" movie since, after helming Tamasha, people began to refer to him as an "intellectual" director.
