IвЂ™m a hardcore cinema guy, I have never done theatre in my life and here I am trying to pull off the craziest ambition of my life. вЂњIвЂ™m terribly nervous and incredibly excited. 26 years later I will be directing DDLJ all over again but this time as an English language Broadway musical for a worldwide audience.вЂќ But this time the medium is not cinema but theatre. вЂњ26 years later IвЂ™m going back to my original vision of the story of DDLJ, a love story of an American boy and an Indian girl, a love story of two culturesвЂ¦ two worlds. It gave me my identity and kickstarted an amazing journey for which IвЂ™ll always be grateful.вЂќ DDLJ released in 1995 and became the longest running film of Indian cinema. As a 23-year-old young man greatly influenced by Hollywood and American pop culture, I thought I would make a couple of Indian films and then I would be off to Hollywood and make DDLJ for a worldwide English speaking audience with Tom Cruise as my leading man. But what many donвЂ™t know is that I never intended to make DDLJ in Hindi. The film created history and changed my life and many others forever. 26 years back I started my career with a film called вЂDilwale Dulhania Le JayengeвЂ™ (DDLJ, what it is more famously known as). вЂњIвЂ™m reuniting two long lost lovers, Broadway Musical and Indian Films. вЂњAutumn 2021вЂ¦ IвЂ™m embarking on my most ambitious project till date,вЂќ Chopra added. I realised then, that worlds apart, languages apart, western musical theatre and Indian films are two long lost lovers separated in time.вЂќ It filled me with the same joy and emotions that a good Indian film does. The burst of colors, the heightened drama, the passionate singing, the unabashed dancing, a classic story, a happy end. It was just not the fact that both use songs to tell the story, it was much more than that, it was the feeling they evoked which was exactly the same. But the most significant aspect that resonated with me was how similar musical theatre was to our Indian films. I couldnвЂ™t believe that this kind of spectacle could be created live on stage. But that day what I saw on stage blew my mind. Now, till then, I was a kid who was an avid movie watcher and what I loved the most was big screen Indian blockbusters. вЂњThe lights dimmed, the curtains lifted and what unfolded in the next three hours left me speechless and stunned. My parents took my brother and me for our first musical theatre experience,вЂќ Chopra wrote. A global casting search headed by Duncan Stewart of Stewart/Whitley casting and Yash Raj Films casting head Shanoo Sharma will begin imminently.Д¬hopra shared a note on the process that led to the musical. вЂњCome Fall In Love вЂ“ The DDLJ MusicalвЂќ will debut in the Broadway season of 2022-2023, with a world premiere at the Old Globe theater in San Diego in Sept.
