Shah Rukh’s Red Chillies Entertainment is co-producing the movie along with Dharma Productions and B.R. Films.

Sharing her excitement, Sonakshi tweeted: “Thank YOU SRK, Karan Johar and of B.R. Films. Was an amazing first day on set today with you all! Great start to our ‘Ittefaq’ journey.

The two actors won’t be seen as a romantic couple in the film, and instead have strong lead roles to themselves,

While SRK said the original “Ittefaq”, which featured Rajesh Khanna, Nanda and Bindu, is one of his “favourite films by Yashji”, Karan said the team was “excited to recreate the magic”.

My favourite films by Yashji, ‘Ittefaq’ is being recreated by Abhay. Thanks Sidharth Malhotra, Sonakshi Sinha, Akshaye. Also, B.R. and Dharma Films tie up with RCE,” Shah Rukh tweeted.

Earlier, Sidharth had expressed his joy of being a part of such an iconic film but denied of facing any pressure of being compared with Rajesh Khanna. Sonakshi said this film tapped her creative side and made her curious about the story.

The film is likely to release later this year.
