Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’s Tenth Anniversary; Ayan Mukerji Shares his Thoughts on the Film

It’s a moment of celebration for fans and the entire team behind the blockbuster romantic drama Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani as the film completes a glorious decade since its release. Directed by the talented Ayan Mukerji, the movie took audiences on a rollercoaster of emotions when it hit the silver screens in 2013, and it continues to be etched in the hearts of moviegoers. The film features a talented ensemble cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur, Kunaal Roy Kapur, and Kalki Koechlin.

Ayan took to his Instagram account and shared glimpses from the movie along with him talking about it. Sharing the video, he captioned, “YJHD – My second child, a piece of my heart and soul – 10 years old today! I think after all these years, I can confidently say that…Making this movie was one of the greatest joys of my life! And what we achieved with it – with all its perfections and imperfections – is a source of great eternal pride for me!”

He further added that ‘Strangely, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani fully from beginning to end, since the day it released’.

He revealed that people talk to him about YJHD more than Brahmastra, “In the recent months, I have often had people recognise me and come up to me… and I’m thinking they will say something about Brahmāstra, and then they started talking about YJHD !”

So, putting out a whole lot of gratitude for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani… and all the many people who connected deeply with the movie over the years! Also sharing a Director’s Note I had written at the time, in my story which someone special from my team shared with me a few days ago… and it brought back all kinds of memories for me! Yup :),” Ayan concluded.
