Ranbir-Konkona in Karan Johar's next production

What an extraordinary combination! You may find Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma a total mismatch, but tis a fact that the duo has been finalized for a film to be produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Production. Apparently, both Ranbir and Konkona liked the script a lot and immediately gave their affirmative nod to it.

The film is about the union of a Punjabi heir-apparent and the Bengali bohemian. The movie will be directed by Ayaan Mukherjee who’s a cousin of Kajol. Ayaan has already assisted Ashutosh Gowariker in ‘Swades’ and Karan Johar in ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’.


Talking about Ranbir and Konkona being a far fetched match, a source says, “That’s exactly the point. In this Mumbai-based romance about urban relationships, the director needed a pair that seems incompatible.

The film is about seeking a level of compatibility in a world gone distinctly out of control.” Both the actor and actress have heavy cinema lineage behind them- Ranbir being the scion of the legendary Kapoor khandan and Konkona the daughter of famed director Aparna Sen.

But they are as different as they can get. Ranbir is the chocolate hero of the romantic comedy genre. Konkona is the character actress with two national awards for acting to her credit.


So aren’t Ranbir and Konkona coming together like the synthesis of Venus and Mars? “That’s exactly the point. In this Mumbai-based romance about urban relationships, the director needed a pair that seems incompatible. The film is about seeking a level of compatibility in a world gone distinctly out of control.” said a source.

Director Ayaan Mukerjee is actress Kajol’s cousin who assisted assisted Ashutosh Gowariker in “Swades” and Karan Johar in “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. He approached Karan Johar with the script and he loved it so Karan Johar’s Dharma production is producing the film.
Equally appreciative were Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma who agreed to the project immediately. So we can expect the sparks to fly with such distinctive actors paired together.

Deepika Padukone’s arm candy, Ranbir Kapoor is all set to have an unusual pairing in a film to be directed by actress Kajol’s cousin. Ranbir will now be seen romancing two time National Award winning actress Konkona Sen Sharma, in debutant Ayaan Mukherjee’s film. Ayaan has already assisted Ashutosh Gowariker in ‘Swades’ and Karan Johar in ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’.

The untitled film will be produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Production. According to a source, the moment Karan read the script of the film, he fell in love with it and agreed to produce it. The film will be a Mumbai based romance about urban relationships.
