Karan shared, “Alia and Ranbir got married, and four days after that we were shooting our sequence with Ranveer and Alia. So in that week, Alia Bhatt got married twice, one in real life and one in reel life. And the mehndi that Alia Bhatt’s character has in the scene is the same mehendi that she had in her wedding celebrations with Ranbir Kapoor. We just darkened it. And we shot that song ‘Kudmayi’ in Jaisalmer and Vaibhavi Merchant picturised it beautifully.”

Alia also opened up about going back to shoot the film’s song just four days after her wedding. She said, “Kudmayi was shot in the same week as my own wedding. My home wedding was simple. My lehenga was light and easy. I was roaming around freely. Whereas here (in Kudmayi), the lehenga was heavy.”

Alia said that she remembered the rituals from her wedding and used that knowledge on the shoot. Sharing an incident where her memory of her wedding pheras came handy on set, Alia shared, “When we were taking pheras (in the film), people around said ‘ladka aage’ (the boy should be in front) and I said, nahi, ladki aage (no, the girl should be in front). I just got married! I know.”

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, also starring Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan released in theatres on July 28. The film has made Rs 73 crore in one week of release, and is poised to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in its second weekend.
