Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' is about a unique love story between a colourful yet dimwitted Punjabi lad and an educated and confident Bengali girl. In a recent interview with Film Companion, filmmaker Karan Johar discussed the possibilities of a sequel and 'Rocky aur Rani's life post-marriage life. "You know we discussed a part 2. We used to chat about it - Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh and me. We were like âWhat has got to be the story because these two deserve a spin-off'. I am like âWho knows!' We imagined a story. We actually have a kind of story, but we don't know it. This was too nascent a thought. Definitely, I see Rocky and Rani living somewhere in Delhi, but away from their parents. Because now they know that even though the backseat driving is being done by the family, they are okay. They are in decent control of the front seat."
