Filmmaker Karan Johar took to his Instagram on Saturday to post a photo featuring actors Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. This was the first look test of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, a film with which the filmmaker is marking his return to the director's chair after over seven years. 

In the photo, Alia Bhatt wore a printed peach saree with a pink sleeveless blouse. She also wore a black bindi on her forehead and golden earrings. Ranveer Singh opted for a printed red shirt. He wrapped his arm around Alia as they posed for the camera.


Sharing the photo, Karan captioned his post, "Our very first look test of the film! When we were locking looks for Rocky and Rani @manishmalhotra05 @ekalakhani #rockyaurranikiipremkahaani @ranveersingh @aliaabhatt." Reacting to the post, Bhumi Pednekar wrote, "Fab!!!" A fan said, "Next generation SRK courtesy Karan Johar." "A pair that we wish to unite," read a comment. An Instagram user commented, "Blockbuster movie can't wait sir." "This is the perfect example of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi," said another fan.

However, several social media users expressed their disapproval on the post.

 A person wrote, "He looks like Ram, she looks like Isha." A comment read, "Both are looking like brother sister... in the song also romance didn't work out.. casting is a big flop I guess." Another person said, "I wish you had kept him clean-shaven. And hair a bit shorter," suggested another person. "Ranveer could have been made to look softer and chocolate boy," wrote an Instagram user. 

Recently, Karan unveiled the first song, Tum Kya Mile, from the film. On Instagram, he shared the song and wrote, "Any love story deserves a fitting love song! And I'm blessed that #TumKyaMile happened to our kahaani (story) - #RockyAurRaniKiiPremKahaani! Song out now! Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, in cinemas 28th July."

The film also stars Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi in the lead roles. It is all set to hit the theatres on July 28.
