Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Ayan revealed that recently, when people wanted to chat with him, he thought they will ‘say something about Brahmsstra’, but then ‘they started talking about Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’. He also added that he hasn’t yet watched the film ‘fully from beginning to end’.
Ayan Mukerji on Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Ayan shared a vintage video montage of him discussing the movie along with the note. “Almost everything that I experienced as a 20-year-old, and I’m almost 30 now, is pack into the film,” said Ayan. “Aspire, fall in love, and make friends.” “YJHD – My second child, a piece of my heart and soul – 10 years old today!” he wrote as the post’s caption. After all these years, I believe I can say with assurance that…One of the greatest joys of my life was making this movie! And I will always be extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish with it, despite all of its flaws and perfections.
Strangely, I don’t believe I’ve ever watched Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani entirely from beginning to end, ever since the day it was released, he continued.(Always moving forward and not taking enough time to reflect…!) But when I’m older and wiser, I believe I’ll watch the film at least once a year because it perfectly captures a large portion of who I was and how I approached life. In recent months, I’ve frequently had people approach me after recognising me. and just as I was anticipating something about Brahmastra, they started talking about YJHD.
“Putting out a lot of gratitude for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani… and all the many people who connected deeply with the movie over the years,” Ayan said in her closing statement. Sharing a Director’s Note that I had written at the time and included in my story, which a special member of my team recently shared with me. It brought back so many wonderful memories for me! Yup :).”
