I had the absolute honour of working with not one, but many illustrious actors on the set of my 7th film. The familial nostalgic feeling of an ensemble cast, creating music that captivates the hearts and a story that runs deep to the roots of our family traditions. It's that time again - to huddle with your family and friends, buy the popcorn, and witness just sheer love and entertainment unfold on the big screen. We're overwhelmed and impatiently excited to finally inform... Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani in cinemas (on) 28th April 2023,” the Instagram post read.

Also, we have very exciting actors from Bengali cinema, we have Churni Ganguly, Tota Roy Chowdhury, massive stars and celebrities. They are also in the movie. So we have very exciting actors across the film, so I am really excited about all of them bringing their A game to the table, and I hopefully can justify their presence,” Karan had elaborated.
