KJo announced on social media today, that he’s wrapped up ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’. He also shared some unseen behind-the-scene pictures with the entire cast and crew – including Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Jaya Bachchan and Dharmendra.
Karan also shared an emotional note as he wrote, “It’s been 7 years since I directed a film….. I embarked on a journey of a film that I had to stop mid way for various unavoidable reasons and then the germ of #rockyaurranikipremkahani came to me from a real life family anecdote ( something my father once told me about ) and then my soldiers helped me create everything I wanted to with my 7th feature … I was blessed with the best team … a team so full of love that bidding them goodbye was not easy….. thank you to each and every one of the core team that helped me through thick , thin , Covid and bad weather…. ( you know who you are and I love you forever).

The producer-director further felt blessed about having such a cast and crew. He further added, “To my amazing cast from veterans to friends … from first time actors to established maestros …. I am blessed with this illustrious cast who portrayed each and every part to its visualisation and more …. We finally wrapped last night!!! We can’t wait to share our labour of love , family, fun and sheer joy with all of you on the 28th of July 2023…… see you at the movies!! #rockyaurranikipremkahani”

The cast and crew recently shot in Kashmir. It was Alia’s first time on set post pregnancy, so she had her daughter Raha accompanying her for the first time. The film is set to release on July 28.
