Ranbir (playing Anushka's fiance in the film), myself, we all thought, 'When Harry met Sally' is such a favourite film and also a love story.there's nothing about the stories, which is similar. It is quite original, a fun space love story by Imtiaz Ali. But it is a takeoff from there (When Harry met Sally) as that movie is a classic.it is a way to attribute. Jab Harry Met Sejal: SRK finally agrees to give Ranbir Kapoor Reward Rs 5000 for suggesting the title! According to the 51-year-old actor, the Imtiaz Ali directed film is "a funny, unabashed love story."

Speaking on the same, the 'Dilwale' actor said, "On all levels, these are capacity running films. Normally we release our films in four thousand theatres. When it is about sharing that space with anyone, you lose out on the capacity to nurture a film like 'Jab Harry met Sejal.' It is a funny unabashed love story, helmed by Imtiaz Ali, who has a special place in people's heart, as a director. The same goes for Anushka, myself, even the songs. It's a very happy film. These kinds of films do take on the capacity of the theatres available." Adding, "Whenever you start sharing date with some other film, due to unavoidable reason, we do lose out on that capacity. At the end we have always done really well, economically also, with the co release, but we do lose out on the capacity of the initial days. I always try not to come up with some other film, I request people the same." 'Jab Harry met Sejal' sees SRK, portraying a tourist guide from Punjab while Anushka plays a Gujarati girl. Rest that follows is an unabashed love story. The romantic drama was widely shot in Prague, Amsterdam, Lisbon and Budapest and marks the third flick of Shah Rukh and Anushka, together, after 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan.'
