Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani which was to release February 2023 has now been postponed to April 2023.

And with a reason.

Karan Johar’s star-studded romantic musical needs just one romantic song before completion. The song featuring the film’s young romantic lead Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh will be shot in the Alps after Alia’s maternity leave.

Says a source close to the project, “Karan was advised to scrap the pending song and release the film as per schedule in February 2023.But he feels the song is an essential part of the narrative. Rather than rush release Rock and Rani’s raga of romance, Karan will wait for Alia to return to work and fly down especially for the song to Europe with his young lead.”

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani also stars Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan.

Alia Bhatt was in her own words w working “like a mad woman” to complete all her assignments.And with good reason.

The past few months have been a whirlwind for Alia. She completed her shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi ,Rajamouli’s RRR and Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra , promoted all three films vigorously. Then completed the shooting of Karan Johar’s film except the song before taking a maternity leave.

She will resume with Karan’s song.
