    Ever since Karan Johar 's next directorial Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani was announced, the expectation around the movie seems to go higher and higher.

    Arjit shared the news with her fans on his Instagram handle with a picture of himself with Karan and Sriti. Alongside, he penned a grateful note that read, “Can’t help but Flaunt this. Just 14 hours of being directed by this Legend. It has been an overwhelming and humbling experience to say the least. Thank you @karanjohar @dharmamovies for making us a small part of this blockbuster in the making and to the whole team for being so generous. All the very best to all of you. #Gratitude.” Soon after, his industry colleagues Ravi Dubey, Avinash Mishra, and others congratulated the actors on the project.

    Karan recently announced the wrap by sharing a fun video featuring himself with Ranveer, and other cast and crew members. Alongside he wrote, “It’s a talkie wrap on a piece of my heart...a Kahani that became a journey which I will hold close to me forever! I sat in the director chair after many years and it felt like coming home. We had legends and superstars on the set and in front of the camera - they were magic! Behind the camera, it was nothing short of magic either with my A-team, my pillars of strength. Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly and passionately towards this kahani...I am forever grateful.”
