Jab Harry Met Sejal Film Trailer:
Pre-post Production :
- Jab Harry Met Sejal movie was initially conceived about a man trying to commit suicide. However, after Khan met Ali, the former suggested to revitalise the story by making it a more jolly film.
- Production of the film began in April 2016 and plans to film shooting were announced in the first part of August 2016, when the film had the working title “Production No. 52”. Sharma required several months of diction training to prepare herself for her role, as her character is from Gujarat. She describes her character as “very superficial, doesn’t have any depth as a person. There is no similarity with me. But her morals and values of self-respect are something that I can relate to. But otherwise, the character is quite impulsive by nature.”
- The film underwent a lot of name changes throughout its production phase from The Ring to Rahnuma to Raula until it was finalised with Jab Harry Met Sejal. When the title of the film was finally revealed, it received considerable backlash from people who accused that it must be a copy of the 1989 Hollywood iconic film When Harry Met Sally… or that it must have been inspired by it. However, contrary to popular beliefs, the two films have no similarity or connection with one another except both falls under the same genre and the two protagonist start off as strangers. Khan explained, “When Harry Met Sally… is one of the greatest love stories ever made in the history of world cinema. Our film on the other hand, is quite original, a fun space love story by Imtiaz Ali. But it is a takeoff from there as that movie is a classic. It is a way to attribute.”
- In an interview with The Indian Express, Khan discussed about the possible epilogue of the movie; the couple had three children and moved to a small town for some time. Sejal then works as a lawyer while Harry takes time off and writes a book. The former takes the role of a working partner while the latter looks after the children.
Film Shooting:
- Film Shooting Start in late August 2016 in Prague and continued in Amsterdam & Budapest from September 2016. Film Shooting locations include multiple locations in Europe, as well as in Punjab.
Release:
- The film was initially set for an 11 August 2017 release. However, it was later moved a week earlier to 4 August to avoid the movie Toilet: Ek Prem Katha averting a possible box office clash. Its release date in Dubai and United Arab Emirates was pushed from early Thursday morning – which has been the norm for Bollywood films – to Friday evening to prevent pirated versions of the film or its spoilers from getting leaked. However, after a backlash, it was decided to release it on its original release date, 3 August, at 6 PM GST.
- The film was released on 3400 screens worldwide.
