Dharmendra says, “Shabana and I were destined to work together for Karan Johar in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” : Bollywood News

The legendary Dharmendra, said to be the handsomest Indian actor ever, is very happy with Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. “Shooting with Karan and the whole cast was like a picnic. Kab shuroo hua aur kab kab khatm, pataa hi nahin chala (didn’t realize when it started and when it ended). Karan took such good care of us. He is such a well brought-up boy. Polite and softspoken. But knows how to get the performances he wants from his cast,” said the veteran star.

Dharmendra says, “Shabana and I were destined to work together for Karan Johar in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani”

Why did it take so long for Dharmendra to work with Karan Johar? “Dekho, jab jo hone ko hota hai tabhi woh hota hai (look, things happen when they are destined to). Shabana Azmi and I were to work together in a film entitled Bichhoo (in 1982) which Sai Paranjpye was to direct. We did the mahurat and shooting was about to start. For some reasons, it never got made. And now here we are, working together,” he said.

Dharmendra is all praise for both his iconic co-stars. “Shabana is a great artiste, the world knows it. I worked with Jaya (Bachchan) in her first film Guddi where she played my fan. Now working with her again, I feel I am her fan,” he added.

Starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani will be releasing in theatres on July 28.
