There was a lot of speculation around the title of Imtiaz Ali’s much-awaited ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma, until its first look was out. However, along with the title, the makers have also crafted the famous Persian poet Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī aka Rumi’s quote 'What you seek is seeking you’ on the movie’s poster.
Revealing the reason behind using the quote, Imtiaz said, “Although I thought I will not be using any quotation from Rumi anymore, in my movie, but then I can’t help it because it is so appropriate that everything I am trying to say in this movie is really what you seek is seeking you. It is a dialog in the film; you will be surprised when you see it. It is so bang on."
That’s pretty interesting, isn’t it? The movie, which has been shot in the picturesque locales of Prague and Amsterdam, will hit the theatres on 4th August.
