Karan Johar impressed with Ranbir Kapoor-Madhuri Dixit jodi in Ghagra song, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani set for Israel release

Apart from the most talked about onscreen chemistry between ex-lovers Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in tomorrow’s release Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, there is something else too which has helped in creating the magic of the film among its prospective audiences. It’s the Ghagra number starring a fresh jodi of the industry, Ranbir Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit.

An excited Karan Johar, the producer of the film, revealed some secrets behind the song and the innovative pairing up, "I can take credit for the idea of making Ranbir and Madhuri dance together. I suggested that Ranbir and Madhuri's jodi would be different and clutter breaking. We thought that if we take a contemporary actress for Ranbir's introduction, it would be common and it has happened before. Ranbir has worked with us all. No one thought of this pair and it would be a surprise. Novelty of Ranbir and Madhuri has made the song a big hit. Besides that, the credit for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani should go to Ayan Mukerji. He's made it with a lot of passion. Ranbir, Deepika, Aditya and the whole cast has worked very hard. But Ayan has worked the hardest. It's really his baby."

Meanwhile, there is some other big news for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani too. Breaking a 10-year-drought on the Israeli silver screen the Ranbir-Deepika starrer will be released in the theatres across the country this Friday. It would make a comeback of Indian films in Israel theatres after Devdas, which was released in 2002. The movie will have Hebrew subtitles for its Israeli audiences and the movie will be released by Eros International. Kumar Ahuja, president (Business Development), Eros International, stated, "There is a huge demand for these movies since Israelis and the local Indian population over there are fond of Indian content.” He also added, “Earlier, Bollywood content was available on DVDs and Indian channels, but this can very well be called the beginning of theatrical age of Hindi movies in Israel.” Shai Solomon of Shai Motion Pictures, an Israeli distributor stated, "We are looking forward to it. It is after a long gap, after 'Devdas', that any Indian movie will release here. This itself calls for celebration and we are anticipating good numbers.” So finally the time has arrived for Ayan Mukerji-directed Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani to scorch the screens and set new records in the history of cinema.
