In a delightful promotional twist, Bollywood stars Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh have switched roles for the digital debut of Karan Johar's family comedy, "Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani," now streaming on Prime Video India. The unique promo, which was released by Prime Video India on YouTube and its social media platforms, showcases the talented actors having fun with their characters and dialogue.
In the promo, Alia Bhatt, who plays Rani, transforms into Rocky and hilariously mimics his West Delhi slang, delivering lines like "How's you babes?" and "Aap toh mujhe total checkout maar rahe ho." Ranveer Singh, in turn, gets into character as Rani and playfully tells Alia to "Chup kar!" using Rani's popular dialogue from the film. The promo ends with Ranveer exclaiming "Khela Hobe" ('Let the game begin' in Bengali), and Alia bidding farewell in her Rocky persona.
"Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani" began streaming on Prime Video India on September 22, following its successful theatrical release on July 28, where it crossed the ₹150 crore mark at the domestic box office over a month. This film marks Karan Johar's return to the director's chair after seven years since "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil."
Apart from Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, the ensemble cast includes veterans like Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra, and Shabana Azmi, along with talented actors like Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly, and many more. Co-produced by Karan's Dharma Productions and Viacom18 Motion Pictures, the film is co-written by Ishita Moitra, Shashank Khaitan, and Sumit Roy, and it revolves around the love story of a West Delhi businessman and a Bengali journalist, defying their families' wishes.
"Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani" promises to be a heartwarming and entertaining family drama that has now become easily accessible to a wider audience with its digital release on Prime Video India. Bollywood fans can now enjoy this star-studded film with a fresh twist, courtesy of Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh's playful role swap in the promotional video.
