Development and casting
"...it is not a conventional love story or love triangle. It's a film that dwells deeply on relationships, heartbreaks and how love completes you, defines you and yet leaves you wanting for more. I have never had, in my entire career, a film that has come to me so fast, so organically and so from within."
The film was first announced in November 2014. Writer-director Karan Johar said that for the past year and a half, he had been developing a story that he needed to work on for another 3 to 5 months. However, while he was in New York, the idea for 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' came to him and he wrote the screenplay in 30 days, something he had never done before. When he came back to India, he spoke to the three lead actors and they all signed on immediately.
Johar stated that he was motivated to cast Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in the film after getting to know them by acting with them in Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet (2015). He added that he was excited to cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after several unsuccessful attempts to cast her in his previous films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001), and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006).[3] [4] Saif Ali Khan will be seen doing a cameo appearance in the film and has recently completed shooting for it.[5]
When the film was first announced in November 2014, it was scheduled to release in June 2016. However, in July 2015, it was announced that the film woud be releasing on 28 October 2016.
Filming
Principal photography began in September 2015 with Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in London.[6] At the end of September, the team filmed some portions in Paris.[7] In October, they began shooting in various locations in Austria, including the city of Vienna. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan joined the crew in Vienna in mid-October after the release of her film Jazbaa.[8][9]
