Noted director, Aditya Chopra, has always strongly felt that Broadway and Indian films are ‘two long lost lovers separated in time because of their intrinsic similarities. Both celebrate heart-warming stories and human emotions through music and dance’. Mr. Chopra has now made that a reality and merged Bollywood and Broadway by taking his much-loved film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (Ddlj) and transposing it as a musical theatre production.

Fans of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, one of Bollywood’s most enduring films have slammed the decision to cast the main male character as a white man in the upcoming Broadway musical adaptation.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, known as Ddlj, is being adapted for Broadway as Come Fall in Love – The Ddlj Musical.
When the film was released in 1995, written and directed by Aditya Chopra, it starred Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol as Raj and Simran, a lovestruck young couple who must win over family and friends opposed to their union. The film made a total of 60million worldwide, became the highest-grossing Indian film of 1995 and is still shown in cinemas today.
Chopra will make his stage directing debut with the musical. However, the decision to cast a white man Austin Colby in the title role – and rename him as Rog – has led some critics to accuse the musical producers of “whitewashing.
