Their third film together, Jab Harry Met Sejal, releases today

Anushka Sharma began her career playing Tani opposite the simple Suri saab essayed by Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (RNBDJ) in 2008. Four years later, in 2012, the two actors reunited to act in Jab Tak Hai Jaan (JTHJ) directed by Yash Chopra. And now, after a gap of five years, they will step on the big screen together today in Jab Harry Met Sejal. With every movie, the chemistry shared by them has only gotten better.

Spread the love

SRK and Anushka’s chemistry in both — RNBDJ and JTHJ — has received much love from the audience and now their crackling chemistry seen in the mini trails and trailer of Jab Harry Met Sejal has only set the bar higher. After their last outing JTHJ, fans were expecting yet another out-and-out romantic saga from these two actors, but when you have Imtiaz Ali in the director’s chair, expect a few twists.

Box-office magic

SRK and Anushka’s jodi has already proved to be successful twice. They have delivered blockbuster love stories, and JHMS seems to be a great combination of good music, performances and story.
A winning combination definitely. Through the mini trails and the trailer, the actors gave the audience a sneak peek into the lives of their characters, which helped us connect with Harry and Sejal.

Kismet connection

SRK essays the role of a Punjabi tour guide, while Anushka plays a Gujarati chhokri in search of her engagement ring. The film, shot in multiple locations across Europe and India, blends drama and comedy with intense romance. Though Harry is reluctant to help Sejal at first, over time, they develop an unusual bond.
