Aditya Chopra's films are shrouded in secrecy and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is no different. From the leading lady of the film to the story, it's all closely guarded.
There have been rumours that the story was kept hidden even from the crew of the film. No one had even seen the script, besides the three lead characters — Shah Rukh, Anushka Sharma and Vinay Pathak.
Nach, anyone?
But the thing with secrets is that they always get out. Just as it did with the story of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. A source from the industry tells all: "It was a very earthy romantic film about SRK who is married to Anushka Sharma. There is a big age difference between them and they are not what you'd call a perfect couple. They are merely stretching their marriage with no real romance in between them. They are two very different people. There's a reality dance show called Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi — which is the main backdrop of the movie. The show is on the lines of popular television show, Nach Baliye."
Dance divide
The source continues, "Anushka wants to take part in the dance competition but she can't because her husband is a old and not hip and happening. She fears that if she dances with him, she will lose the show and become the laughing stock among all her friends, who are taking part in the same. Shah Rukh over hears his wife's problem and decides to go in for a makeover. He then watches some movies and changes his image completely and comes back to the show and woos Anushka off her feet. All the way through the dance competition, she keeps on falling in love with this new and improved Shah Rukh, without once realising that the man she is dancing with, is her real husband."
The spokesperson for Yash Raj Films simply says, "No comment!"
