The United States and India signed the LEMOA (Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement) on Monday to allow the use of each other’s land, air and naval bases for repair and resupply.

It’s unusual for the first shot of a teaser to stay on one particular actor in a multi-starrer, but the first teaser of Karan Johar’s much awaited Ae Dil Hai Mushkil does the unusual.
As Arijit’s voice takes over on Pritam’s music, Karan’s camera stays on Ranbir while the first lines of the title track flow out. The mixture of intensity and vulnerability in the actor’s eyes keep you hooked, and that’s pretty much true for the rest of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’s teaser.
