Two years after Jab Harry Met Sejal which revolved around a world-weary tour guide, Shah Rukh Khan, and his travels with a chirpy Gujarati girl, Anushka Sharma, Imtiaz Ali kicked off his next directorial in the first week of March with Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan. Reported to be a follow-up to Imtiaz’s 2009 romantic-comedy-drama Love Aaj Kal, it is currently being filmed in Mumbai after shoots in Delhi and Udaipur.

Mirror photographer Raju Shelar caught Imtiaz explaining a scene to his 28-year-old leading man who was expected to wave out to someone, then enter a house carrying a bag. Kartik’s day begun as early as 4 am but there was no signs of stress or fatigue as he listened attentively to his director, then carried out his instructions to the T. Sara was missing in action and so was the romance. The film also reunites Imtiaz with his Highway actor Randeep Hooda.
