Jab Harry Met Sejal
There were too many speculations about the title of the film. It was earlier believed that the film was titled ‘The Ring’ and later it was being said that it is ‘Rehnuma’. Nonetheless, now that the makers have announced the title of the film, we know the name of the characters. And from the first look poster it is clear that it’s a light hearted romantic film. If reports are anything to go by, SRK will be seen essaying the character of a tourist guide. Moreover, the super-hit jodi of SRK and Anushka will be back. The duo has already delivered blockbusters like ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ in the past. ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ is Imtiaz Ali’s labour of love and is slated to release on August 4.
