Filmmaker Karan Johar wrote a touching letter dedicating the song from his film “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” to Yash Chopra.

Filmmaker Karan Johar wrote a touching statement and dedicated the song “Tum Kya Mile” from “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” to his “guru,” Yash Chopra.

Sharing a working still from the song, KJo wrote: “In a few hours #tumkyamile will be yours … I remember at the very onset my instinct was that I wanted to film a love song that would unabashedly pay homage to my guru Yash Chopra.”

“Pritam Dada and I yearned for a song for the ages from the ages and it had it be unapologetic or it wouldn’t be true … My deepest gratitude to Vaibhavi Merchant who got the Memo better than I did and completely took charge. Being a Yash Chopra lover herself … she gave her heart to our song…”

Karan Johar also noted: “This is also the first shoot Alia did after the birth of her angel and I remain in apology for freezing her in Manish Malhotra chiffons … in sympathy I fell drastically ill through the shoot (a karmic punishment perhaps). Ranveer was nervous as this was his first lip sync mountain love song but he was a real trooper … So we are back to the valleys for a ishq wala lip sync chiffon saree song … I hope you feel the love as much as we felt the cold … This one’s for you Yash uncle … Your fan forever, Karan.”

Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt are featured in the song, which was composed by Pritam, written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, and sung by Arijit Singh. The release date is June 29.

The romantic comedy family drama movie “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” is directed by Karan Johar and written by Ishita Moitra, Shashank Khaitan, and Sumit Roy.

The movie, which was made by Dharma Productions and Viacom18 Studios, also features Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, and Dharmendra. It will be released on July 28.
