Karan Johar is arguably the most well established filmmaker in the country. He is known to work on several projects simultaneously and reports suggest that he has roped in two major stars for his next. After halting the plans for the period drama 'Takht', Karan started developing a rom-com and he approached Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Kapoor with it. The 'Gully Boy' duo reportedly agreed to do it. The film is titled 'Prem Kahani'.

A source revealed, "The makers were on the lookout for a quirky yet relatable title and that's when they zeroed in on Prem Kahani. The film is essentially a love story of two completely opposite characters, and the audience will get a glimpse of vintage Karan Johar, whose films at one point, were just meant to spread happiness, and take the audience in a fairy tale world."

The source further added, "The first step is to get the crew vaccinated, and this will be followed by getting on the sets to kick off the first schedule. It's all work in progress with set designing and other aspects being looked after in isolation. The music settings have also begun, as being a romantic saga, there lies ample of scope for good music."
