Aditya Chopra strongly feels musical theatre and Indian films are ‘two long lost lovers separated in time’ because of their intrinsic similarities as both celebrate heart-warming stories and human emotions through music and dance. Aditya has been working on this passion project for the past few years and has roped in a stellar, extremely diverse team, comprising some of the best talents of musical theatre for the same.

Come Fall In Love - The DDLJ Musical is being produced by Yash Raj Films. Based on an original story by Chopra, it features book & lyrics by Olivier Award-winning Nell Benjamin (Mean Girls with Tina Fey, Legally Blonde with Laurence O'Keefe), music by legendary composers Vishal Dadlani and Sheykhar Ravjiani, choreography by Olivier, Tony and Emmy Award-winning Rob Ashford (Frozen, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), associate choreography and Indian dancing by Shruti Merchant (Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, Taj Express) and scenic design by Tony Award-winning Derek Mclane (MJ The Musical and Moulin Rouge! The Musical).

Cultures will collide in this East meets West musical which will have 18 all-new songs. Come Fall In Love is the story of Simran, a young British Indian girl whose future is set: an arranged marriage back in India to a family friend. But when she convinces her strict father that she should spend a summer of freedom and fun in Europe, she falls in love with Rog, a rich, charming British boy who is her father’s worst nightmare.
