Alia and Ranveer shared the same video on their social media accounts, introducing the film. According to reports gathered by the Free Press Journal, Karan plans to take the film on floors in September this year. The producer had last donned the director's hat in 2016 for Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Fawad Khan's film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Ranveer and Alia, on the other hand, last shared the screen together in Gully Boy.

Prior to this announcement, Karan left everyone excited on Monday without spilling the beans about his new project. Dharma Productions took to Twitter and wrote, "HE is back! After five long years, @karanjohar is returning to the director’s chair. It's time for some eternal love stories, ensemble casts and unforgettable tunes with his larger-than-life lens! Are you ready to feel those wholesome magical feelings, again?"
