Ayan Mukerji Calls Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani 'A Piece Of My Heart And Soul' As Ranbir And Deepika Starrer Completes 10 Years

Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji claims that the Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone film 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,' which celebrated its tenth anniversary on Wednesday, is a reflection of his "heart and soul."

New Delhi: Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji claims that the Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone film 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,' which celebrated its tenth anniversary on Wednesday, is a reflection of his "heart and soul."

'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', which was released on May 31, 2013, was Mukerji's second film. In 2009, he made his directorial debut with the film 'Wake Up Sid,' which also starred Ranbir Kapoor.

"YJHD - My second child, a piece of my heart and soul - 10 years old today! I think after all these years, I can confidently say that... Making this movie was one of the greatest joys of my life! And what we achieved with it - with all its perfections and imperfections - is a source of great eternal pride for me," the filmmaker wrote in a post on Instagram.

The romantic comedy, which also starred Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur, explored the story of four friends as they experience the numerous adventures life has in store for them.

He continued further, "Strangely, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani fully from beginning to end, since the day it released …
(Always pushing towards the next milestone, and not looking back enough…!) But when I’m older and wiser - I think I will watch the movie atleast once a year - because a big part of who I was and how I looked at life - is forever captured in this movie !"

Ayan added, "In the recent months, I have often had people recognise me and come up to me… and I’m thinking they will say something about Brahmāstra, and then they started talking about YJHD ! So, putting out a whole lot of gratitude for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani… and all the many people who connected deeply with the movie over the years ! ❤️🎈💥"

He concluded the post with writing, "Also sharing a Director’s Note I had written at the time, in my story which someone special from my team shared with me a few days ago… and it brought back all kinds of memories for me ! Yup :)"

Kalki Koechlin reshared the video posted by Ayan with the caption, "How we’ve all grown and learnt since then and yet some things I can’t imagine any different, like @deepikapadukone will always be teaching us a dance step we can’t follow, @adityaroykapur will always be our big Lebowski, Ranbir will always play a prank that makes us squeal and @ayan_mukerji will always ask us uncomfortably personal questions that lead to the best conversations 🥰😍😘 loved the memories we collected here, happy 10 years guys🎉"

Produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" also featured late Farooq Shaikh and Tanvi Azmi in pivotal roles.
