If life is about dreams, ambition, hope, disappointments, options, eagerness, fear, travel, the first day at work, sleepless nights, family, laughter, music, dance, friendship and love, then Ayan Mukerji’s next Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is a spirited cocktail of all these.
According to the director, a person’s journey from the age of 21 to 30 has shades of all kinds. But there’s something about one’s first tryst with adulthood, which is particularly powerful. It has a kind of rawness, says Ayan, where one has no way of knowing what lies ahead and it’s that craziness of youth that has been captured in the trailer of the movie.
The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur, is a story of four characters in their youth. From their carefree laughter, as they set off on a holiday together during their college days, to the bittersweet tears as they watch the first of their bunch getting married, the movie is an effort to showcase the spirit of their lives.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,produced by Dharma Productions,releases May 31.
