The filmmaker Aditya Chopra after producing many films now with Befikre making his comeback in field of direction and he has reason to cast Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor.

Aditya said, "It's been 21 years since DDLJ and I have worked tirelessly producing loads of films, building a studio model, even wrote and directed a couple of films on the way. All the while I gained a lot of knowledge and experience, came to know a lot of things. But with knowledge came a sense of fear as well... Fear of failure, fear of not meeting expectations. When you know a lot, you become more cautious and when you become cautious you tend to lose the one thing that drove you to do this in the first place, fearless passion. I figured it's time to reboot myself."

Aditya feels to connect with youngsters, needs new version, "have definitions of love". "More importantly, women have changed. Today they are equal to men (actually stronger) in every possible way. This truly has changed the rules of love forever. Who asks whom out first? Who says I love you first? Do we say I love you at all? Who breaks up first?."

Aditya also revealed that he wants to leave baggage of working with the same actor, "I wanted to feel as if I'm making my first film. To achieve this, the most important decision I took was to surround myself with people I didn't know. Since the film is set in Paris, I chose a full French crew...Since I was a complete stranger to them, they did not come with any baggage of my past achievements and treated me as any regular director. And since they were unknown to me and my style of filmmaking, I could rediscover myself as a student of cinema once again."

At last he said, "So at 45, I'm being fearless once again. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and into the minefield of the young and restless. Unlearning everything that I know and trying to figure out if I'm still relevant to the youth today."
