NDTV
"This film is truly a product of team energy and love," wrote Karan Johar
Karan Johar and team Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani have so many reasons to celebrate. As the film crossed the Rs 100 crore mark ( and over Rs 200 crore globally, according to the makers), Karan Johar shared an extensive note thanking the film's cast, crew and the entire team that contributed to the project in different ways. Karan Johar began the note with these words, "Warning: Long emo post ahead. Prior to the release of this film, I felt that at any point of time I would need an IV drip and was near collapse! The question I asked myself was - is it the long 7 year gap? Or the anxiety built over the last 3 years."
Sharing his exact thoughts on the release date of the film, KJo added, "Or the fact that we live in an ambiguous box office time. Whatever the real reason is - I was a bonafide mess! But the Friday, 28th of July, I felt nothing but gratitude, validation and sheer joy. This film is truly a product of team energy and love."
The filmmaker began by acknowledging the writing forces and added, "I want to first express my deepest gratitude to the writing forces of this film - Shashank Khaitan and Sumit Roy, who guided me through the narrative journey of our film. Special mention to Ishita Moitra, who brought so much humour, introspection and cinema drama to the screenplay and crackling dialogues. This entire writing process would not have been possible without the creative governance and brilliance of Somen Mishra."
