'Come Fall in Love - The DDLJ Musical' will feature book and lyrics by Laurence Oliver Award-winner Nell Benjamin and choreography by Tony and Emmy winner Rob Ashford and associate choreographer Shruti Merchant. It gave me my identity and kickstarted an amazing journey for which I'll always be grateful,' he recounted. DDLJ was released in 1995 and became the longest-running film in Indian cinema. As a 23-year-old young man greatly influenced by Hollywood and American pop culture, I thought I would make a couple of Indian films and then I would be off to Hollywood and make DDLJ for a worldwide English speaking audience with Tom Cruise as my leading man. But what many don't know is that I never intended to make DDLJ in Hindi. The film created history and changed my life and many others forever. '26 years back I started my career with a film called Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ, what it is more famously known as). While speaking about Broadway, Chopra recalled that he never intended to make DDLJ in Hindi and he wanted to cast Tom Cruise as the leading man in the film. I'm all set to learn, explore, create and enjoy with these wonderful theatre artists and the magical world of Broadway Musicals.' I'm once again a student, each one of my team members is more experienced than me in the world of theatre, I'm the rookie and I'm loving every moment of it. I feel 23 again, the same age I was when I directed DDLJ.

Each one of them is a master of their field and their brilliance and expertise is going to make this a fantastic show,' he said.Д¬hopra added, 'The past 3 years as we have developed this passion project, I have learnt so much from them and discovered the unbelievable talent that the Broadway community has. But what is giving me confidence is the fantastic team that I have. I'm a hardcore cinema guy, I have never done theatre in my life and here I am trying to pull off the craziest ambition of my life. 'I'm terribly nervous and incredibly excited.
