The makers of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani have unveiled the trailer today, and it looks like a promising family entertainer. Karan Johar sits in the director's chair after almost a decade.

While Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani has already created enough buzz around the town, there are some interesting and lesser-known facts that you may not know. The upcoming romantic drama awakens the true-blue Bollywood fan within us who loved Karan Johar's idea of larger-than-life romance.

Let's see some interesting facts about the Alia Bhatt-Ranveer Singh starrer Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

1. Inspired by a real-life story

Did you know RRKPK is inspired by a real-life anecdote that KJo's father once shared with him? While Karan did not elaborate much on this and no names were named, one can only imagine the hold the story might have had on the filmmaker's mind.

2. Ibrahim Ali Khan, the AD

It was Saif Ali Khan's son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, who assisted Karan Johar in directing the movie. There were many pictures of him posing with the stars of the film that went viral on the internet. In one of the photos shared by his proud aunt, Saba Pataudi, Ibrahim can be seen posing with Jaya Bachchan.

While Ibrahim Ali Khan is yet to make his big Bollywood debut, his sister-actress Sara Ali Khan recently confirmed that he has finished shooting for the film.

3. Dharmendra romances Shabana Azmi

This was equally confusing for us. Dharmendra belongs to the Randhawa family, while Shabana Azmi is shown as a part of the Chatterjee family in the movie. However, in a recent interview, Azmi revealed that she was romancing the veteran actor in RRKPK.

She said, "Definitely, the whole idea of romance between me and Dharmendra's character is based on little snippets of Hindi films, so you will feast on what he's got there. I can't reveal too much, but it is certainly there."

4. Manish Malhotra, the maestro

If you're in love with Alia Bhatt's sarees and lehengas in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (which we already are), bow down to the style maestro, Manish Malhotra. The designer understood the assignment and created a version of Alia that is soothing to the eyes. He has practically created a mood board for women for every traditional Indian occasion.

5. From Kashmir to Moscow

Do we need to remind you that this is a Karan Johar film? Every movie helmed by the filmmaker has shown a blend of majestic Indian and otherworldly foreign landscapes. RRKPK is no exception.

The movie's song, Tum Kya Mile, was shot in the mesmerizing mountains of Kashmir. Another song from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani was shot in Moscow. No wonder it takes us back to the 90s style of KJo movies.

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani releases on July 28 in cinemas near you.
