Mumbai, July 28

Bollywood multi-hyphenate Karan Johar is celebrating the 3rd anniversary of his directorial 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'.

On Tuesday, the director-producer took to his Instagram, and shared a series of pictures from the making of the film. In the pictures, KJo can be seen fully-immersed in his creative process as he directs his actors, jams with them and different HODs from the sets. In the pictures, he can also be seen discussing the scenes with the late actor Dharmendra.

He also penned a long note in the caption, as he wrote, "Photo Dump of one of the most joyous experiences I have had on set! #3yearsofRRKPK. I can't wait to be back on set, for my own heart".

The film marked KJo's return to direction 7 years after his last film 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'. The film featured an ensemble starcast of Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh.

KJo has shot the film extensively in New Delhi. Several photos from their outdoor shoot leaked online at the time of shooting, revealing that the film is adopting a retro vibe. It was released in cinemas a week after the big clash of Hollywood films 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer'.

Meanwhile, on the work front, KJo is all set to return as a host for the second season of the reality show 'The Traitors', which will start streaming from August 13. Collaborating with independent distributor All3Media International for the local adaptation of IDTV's BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning global format, season two is produced by Dharmatic Entertainment. 21 celebrity players will battle for the grand prize and the coveted title.

Season 2 of 'The Traitors' is set to premiering on August 13 on Prime Video.

Honestly, I found the film a bit over-the-top, but KJo's direction and the music were top-notch. The BTS pics are lovely—shows how much passion goes into these projects. Hope 'The Traitors' season 2 is a hit too.

The Delhi outdoor shoot was epic—those leaked photos had me so hyped! Dharmendra ji's presence in the BTS is so heartwarming. KJo really brings out the best in his actors. 🥰🌟

I think 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' was better, but RRKPK was a decent comeback. Happy for KJo—he's a hard worker. Though I wish he'd focus more on fresh stories instead of the same family drama formula. Just saying.

The Barbie vs Oppenheimer clash was crazy—I remember going to watch RRKPK that weekend instead! 😂 KJo's films are always a vibe. BTS photos are gold. Wishing him all the best for 'The Traitors' season 2! 🙌

Nostalgia hit hard! That film was such a visual treat—the costumes, the sets, everything. KJo is a master of grand sets. But I hope he doesn't take 7 years again for his next directorial. We need more bollywood dramas! 🎞️
