Making a film like Fanaa was more difficult, because we had to tell a terrorist’s love story. But yes, we have used authentic props – earthenware, glasses, the architecture and natural dyes and fabrics for the costumes. For the 1910 period we had to create a place that was almost like a Gaulish village in an Asterix comic - far removed from the uprising and the depressing environment. Was Teri Meri Kahaani more difficult to shoot than your previous films, considering the story unfolds in three different eras? He feels that they are our slaves instead and we can get work done by them. He doesn’t believe that Indians are slaves of the Brit rulers. His outlook towards the British is unique too. So the character of the 1910 Shahid is that of a ‘dil fek aashiq’. I am sure it wasn’t that grim all through. It was always portrayed as dull and colourless. I was tired of the pre-Independence period shown in movies. It generally revolves around the Independence movement and revolutionary leaders. The pre-Independence portions are in stark contrast to the early 20th century India we are used to seeing in the movies. And,of course, because they look good together! I wanted them because I felt that they could do justice to the roles. Shahid has done a double role earlier, in Kaminey, and Priyanka has played multiple characters in What’s Your Raashee? and 7 Khoon Maaf. See, the personality of the lead characters changes in every era. Guess everybody has their zone and love stories is what I am best at, so why not!

No wonder then that after spending many months writing a script on a political subject, he decided to go back to what he loves doing most – making love come alive onscreen. He has two huge hit love stories to his name - Hum Tum and Fanaa. But director Kunal is not new to this turf. After a not very excited response to its first trailer, the rom-com has finally managed to generate hype after the release of its fresh second trailer and the now-on-now-off romantic history of the lead pair - Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. Kunal Kohli’s next film Teri Meri Kahaani is set to release on June 22. The Fanaa director faces questions on the Shahid-Priyanka chemistry, comparisons to Mausam and copying the Taiwanese film Three Times
