Kapoor and Padukone last appeared together in the 2008 hit Bachna Ae Haseeno and were once the hottest couple in Bollywood before Kapoor got distracted by Katrina Kaif. Though the leading lady Padukone was conspicuously absent from the Dubai promotional tour organised by Essar Events, Kapoor had the supporting actors by his side to help build-up pre-release hype for the film. With everything looking up for the film, it was no wonder that the cast exuded an upbeat vibe on their recent visit to Dubai. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, produced by Johar and directed by Mukerji under the banner of Dharma Productions, stars Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, with Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin in supporting roles. It only helped that all the songs from the movie raced to the top of the charts as soon as they were released. It’s not only jawaani that is deewani.The minute Karan Johar and Ayan Mukerji convinced Madhuri Dixit to groove on screen alongside Ranbir Kapoor for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, they had a sure-fire hit on their hands. But for reasons best known to Ayan and team, they passed off Gulmarg as Manali in the film. Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani was partly shot in Gulmarg Kashmir. Producer Karan Johar apparently paid a heft amount to get that title.Ĩ. The title Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani came from a song Ranbir’s uncle Randhir Kapoor sang in Kishore Kumar’s voice in Narendra Bedi’s 1972 hit Jawani Deewani. In fact the only films of Ranbir to make profits on release were Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani and Sanju.ħ. It lost quite a lot of money on release but made profits eventually through satellite and television. But most critics felt Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani was way too long with much too little story to tell. At 159 minutes this is one of the longest films of Ranbir’s career.Prakash Jha’s Raajneeti was longer.

Ranbir’s troubled relationship with the late Farouq Shaikh who played his father was based on his real-life equation with his father Rishi Kapoor.Ħ. Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani was the last time Aditya was seen as a second lead.ĥ.

He wanted to get him out of the second-lead bracket. Aditya Roy Kapoor was rapped on his knuckles by Mahesh Bhatt for playing the second lead in a Ranbir starrer. Bhatt was planning a massive re-launch for Aditya as a leading man in Aashiqui 2. They included Madhuri’s Ghagra guest appearance because she was Ranbir’s first crush. Ranbir returned the compliment by making a guest appearance in Ms Dixit’s Marathi film Bucket List.Ĥ. Madhuri Dixit’s completely ill-fitting item song was an afterthought. But then Ranbir and Ayan thought Ranbir’s X Deepika suited the role better. The original choice for nerdy Naina was Katrina Kaif.
