The suspense is finally over! The title of the much awaited Shah Rukh Khan film with Imtiaz Ali has been confirmed and it is 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'. The film was in the news for a long time due to the lack of a title. Several names were thrown around, but it seems that team Imtiaz is sticking to 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'.
Rumours are rife that while SRK plays the role of a Punjabi taxi driver, Anushka Sharma will be playing the role of a Gujarati girl named 'Sejal'. The poster of the film will be launched tomorrow as reported by several sources. The trailer of the film will be attached with Salman Khan's 'Tubelight'.
The title of the film has been fashioned after two hit romantic-comedies -- 'When Harry Met Sally' and Imtiaz Ali's 'Jab We Met'. We hear that SRK wanted to stick to 'Rehnuma' or 'Raula' as he wanted the film to be named with the letter 'R' after the success of 'Raees'. But the team decided to go ahead with 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'. There were also rumours that Imtiaz and Shah Rukh Khan wanted to postpone the release date of this film as it was clashing with Akshay Kumar's 'Toilet-Ek Prem Katha'. But as of now, neither of the films want to back out and both will set a box office clash on August 11.
This is SRK and Anushka Sharma's third collaboration as lead pair after 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'. They will also star together in Aanand L.Rai's next film.
