Mumbai: Aditya Chopra might have given Shah Rukh Khan a rest on his latest feature, opting for a younger cast, on a story based around a genre that he himself was hitherto alien to.
However, Adi being the passionate taskmaster that he is, absolutely own his act, appropriating himself as a nobody, hiring French technicians, going positively faux anonymous, and liberally dealing with his baby, 'Befikre'.
Ranveer being the dedicated actor that he is, surrendered completely, to SLB's vision. Vaani, who debuted in 'Shuddh Desi Romance'
Adi, known to be a recluse, even shared a picture of himself, guiding Ranveer and Vani through a scene, alongside an open letter, elaborating on his motivations and fears while making 'Befikre'.
Adi, who'd written a letter addressed to his late father Yash Chopra, announcing 'Befikre,' has once again decided to pen an open letter, addressing his fears and motivations while making the film.
Earlier, it had been revealed that the film was an homage to the 48-year old director's wife Rani Mukherjee.
“Adi (director Aditya Chopra) wrote this script as a homage to his own marriage. Both Rani and Adi love Paris more than any city in the world. Ranveer was director Adi’s first and last choice to play the dilli ka chokra Dharam. For the role of Kyra, Adi was extremely keen to cast Vaani, who he feels has tremendous potential. He made her learn French with a French tutor from scratch and made sure she sounded like a half-French girl," a source had said.
'Befikre,' will release on December 9.
