'Blame it on Ranbir': Anushka on mixed response to Jab Harry Met Sejal title

Mumbai: After teasing the audiences with glimpses of 'Jab Harry Met Sejal's with its mini trails, Shah Rukh Khan, director Imtiaz Ali and Anushka Sharma at long last unveiled a full-fledged trailer of the film on Friday, which is quite refreshing and appealing.

Shah Rukh, who has been on an extensive promotional spree for the film, is off to a short break to Los Angeles with family, due to which he couldn't attend the extravaganza in person.

However, he did not leave the media disappointed and joined the press conference virtually.

At the trailer launch, Anushka was entirely immersed in her Gujarati character of Sejal and conversed in the Gujarati accent. Accompanying her was the phenomenal Imtiaz Ali.

Taking the media meet ahead, Anushka was asked about her character in the film, answering which, she took the philosophical route. Post which Shah Rukh wittily said, "I thought that Anushka was a 'kaam chalau' actress, didn't know this philosophical and deep side of hers."

Further talking about the mixed response the film's title 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' has been receiving, both Anushka and Imtiaz said that blame it on Ranbir Kapoor, because he has suggested the title. “Since, he isn't on social media, we're going to create a website for him, and you'll can write as many complaints on that website," they opined jokingly.

At the event, Anushka reminisced the initial stage of her career. Talking about her first film 'Rab Be Bana Di Jodi' with Shah Rukh Khan, she said, "I was very nervous when I met Shah Rukh for the first time. I met him and he congratulated me for doing the film. He was very chilled out and was not intimidating. In fact, he made things easy for me, without making it visible."

Shah Rukh will be seen playing the role of a guide in 'Jab Harry met Sejal' and Anushka Sharma as his romantic interest.

The film is slated to release on August 04.
