Imtiaz Ali's upcoming movie 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' starring Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma is undoubtedly one of the most-awaited movies of the year. While there were many tentative titles like ‘Rahnuma’ and ‘The Ring’ that the makers had in mind, it was finally Ranbir Kapoor’s suggestion that made the cut.
When Shah Rukh finally announced he title on social media, he captioned it as, “Just in case Ranbir Kapoor ever claims it…the title ‘Jab Harry met Sejal’ was never ever suggested by him! So he doesn’t win the Rs.5000 reward." Decoding this cryptic message, Ranbir later said, “I suggested the title ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ to Shah Rukh Sir and Imtiaz Ali. But the sad part is that I had no idea about the reward, so Shah Rukh Sir, I am coming to Mannat (SRK’s residence), keep the Rs 5000 ready in cash! To be honest I was shooting at Mehboob Studio, where Shah Rukh Sir, Imtiaz Ali and Anushka were also shooting. We all were sitting in a van together and discussing various options for the title of the film, and I suggested this title (Jab Harry Met Sejal), everybody laughed at me for the ‘bakwas’ title I had suggested. Today they have used my title, and I am very happy that I could be a small part of this film. It is by far the most exciting actor-director duo, Shah Rukh Sir and Imtiaz Ali is my favourite duo as a fan and as an audience. Pritam is in this film, Anushka is in this film, and I am happy even I am a part of this film.”
Ranbir finally claimed his reward from SRK at Imtiaz Ali’s birthday party on Friday. SRK even shared a picture with Ranbir and captioned it as, “Jagga Jasoos we r quits now!!! Hisaab barabar. Give @karanjohar his share for the ‘Jab’ part in JHMS please."
