Will the actors perform live?

Yes

At the begining DDLJ was written with a white male lead in mind. Adi Chopra wanted Tom Cruise for the part but it did not work out so they changed the part to Indian. 

Then how is it a remake???

I'm confused. What do you think happens when Hollywood movies are remade for India?😆

Lal Singh Chadda?

Bride & Prejudice?

The most overrated film ever.

Frankly don't know about this 😒 SRK-Kajol were the USP of DDLJ....it's nice to see a BW being adapted on Broadway but don't know where they are going with this.

Forrest Gump

Why even make the musical though? Aisa toh kya hi hai movie mein 😆

KJo must be gearing up with a KKHH musical pitch soon. Noway is he going to let Aditya Chopra set a trend and not jump on the bandwagon. 

And I understand them replacing Raj's character with a non-Indian guy. How are you going to make an NRI father not wanting an NRI damaad in 2022 relatable? 

Maybe that's the reason to take a white guy to make Simran's father's reaction more relatable for modern thinking. The issue would now be about Simran falling in love with a non-Indian and her father wanting an Indian as son-in-law...

Nevertheless I wonder whose idea it was to put this musical on stage...in USA...
