Ranveer-Alia starrer ‘RRKPK’ earns Rs 200 crore globally, Karan Johar pens long emotional note

The recently released romantic drama “Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” directed by renowned filmmaker Karan Johar and starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi, has now surpassed the $200 million mark worldwide. After seven years, KJo is back in the director’s chair with this movie. As his movie passed the Rs 200 crore mark on Monday, Karan wrote a moving post on his Instagram account.

He wrote, “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. 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 & love.”

He wrote, “I want to first express my deepest gratitude to the writing forces of this film – Shashank Khaitan & Sumit Roy, who guided me through the narrative journey of our film. He also expressed gratitude to the costume designers and musicians. Ishita Moitra deserves special recognition for adding so much humor, introspection, and cinema drama to the screenplay and witty dialogue. Without Somen Mishra’s brilliant direction and creative leadership, this entire writing process would not have been possible.
