Development and casting
"...it is not a conventional love story or love triangle. It's a film that dwells deeply on relationships, heartbreaks and how love completes you, defines you and yet leaves you wanting for more. I have never had, in my entire career, a film that has come to me so fast, so organically and so from within."
—Karan Johar speaking about the film in an interview with The Times of India
The film was first announced in November 2014. Writer-director Karan Johar said that for the past year and a half, he had been developing a story that he needed to work on for several months. However, while he was in New York, the idea for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil came to him and he wrote the screenplay in 30 days. When he came back to India, he spoke to the three lead actors and they all signed on immediately.
Johar stated that he was motivated to cast Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in the film after getting to know them by acting with them in Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet (2015). He added that he cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after several unsuccessful attempts to cast her in his previous films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001), and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006).[2] Saif Ali Khan along with Pakistani actors Fawad Afzal Khan and Imran Abbas Naqvi will also be seen in the film.[3]
The film is scheduled for release on 28 October 2016.
Filming
Principal photography began in September 2015 with Kapoor and Sharma in London.[4] At the end of September, the team filmed some portions in Paris.[5] In October, they began shooting in various locations in Austria, including the city of Vienna. Rai Bachchan joined the crew in Vienna in mid-October after the release of her film Jazbaa.[6] On 6 February at the India Conference at Harvard, Johar revealed that in the film Kapoor plays the character of a Hindu boy, Aayan, and Sharma plays a Muslim girl, Alizeh.[7] The final schedule was filmed in March 2016, in Mandawa, Rajasthan, and as per reports, Pakistan was recreated in the area for shooting.[8]
