1. The Women In ADHM Are Complicated: Karan Johar

Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’s teaser has just been released and we cannot take our eyes off it. While Karan has made sure nothing about the characters or the film is revealed, he did share something about the women in the film.

They’re complicated, without saying too much. And they are immensely progressive characters. I know that Aishwarya has never, ever played a part like this. She plays a poet who isn’t a very good poet, and so she is aware that she isn’t as respected in her community of poets. This is partly because she is too beautiful to be taken seriously and because she isn’t a great poet. She comes from a situation of heartbreak herself.

Karan also shed some light on Anushka’s role.

Anushka comes from a dysfunctional family. Everyone has a broken hearted situation in some way. I have to say, though, that they are both incredibly strong and complex women characters while being completely different in terms of character goals.

We are still working on the script. The sequel will have a completely different story. We are not carrying forward the story of the couples. There will be four love stories set in Mumbai... We are in talks with actors but no one is locked yet. From the first part, we are in talks with Irrfan. There is a verbal commitment from him

4. Even Broken Bones Can’t Stop Nargis Fakhri

Nargis Fakhri, being the thorough professional she is, shot for an entire dance sequence with an injured knee for Banjo. Nargis, who plays a New York-based DJ in the film which also stars Riteish Deshmukh, had to perform on a high energy dance number, Raada Raada. Despite her knee injury, Nargis reached the set on time and shot for the song. In fact, she didn’t even let the film’s director Ravi Jadhav know about her injury.

The most challenging task for Nargis was to match up to her co-stars Riteish Deshmukh and Dharmesh’s performance as they are fabulous dancers. Being a professional, she continued shooting as the makers had an expensive set put up featuring a huge crowd. The song shoot went off well.
