Director Siddharth Anand says his new film Anjaana Anjaani, which stars Ranbir Kapoor
and Priyanka Chopra, is inspired by the hit American sitcom Friends. “I remember when I
watched Friends I wanted to meet and know every character.
That’s how I want audiences to feel about Ranbir and Priyanka in Anjaana Anjaani. When
Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge came out, you wanted to feel and touch Raj and Simran.
That’s how I want audiences to feel about Ranbir and Priyanka…everyone in the team has
given his or her best to this film,” Anand said. Anjaana Anjaani has been scripted by author
Advaita Kala.
“She wrote a chick-lit novel called Almost Single. I asked her to develop a story by my wife
Mamta. Ranbir and Priyanka had no reference points in any film for their performance…These
are characters going through extraordinary, not easily relatable circumstances. It’s about
few days that two strangers spend together.”
