Aanand revealed how his equation has evolved with Dhanush over the years. "It's a very beautiful relationship. It started as (an equation of) a director and an actor. By the time I reached Atrangi Re, it was not a director and actor equation, it was like an elder brother-younger brother or you can say a father-son (equation)," he added.

And now, as he's looking forward to his reunion with Dhanush, Aanand has anticipated how their bond will evolve further. "Now, when I am going on floors with him (for Tere Ishk Mein), I have a feeling that how it happens when a son grows, we will have our own conflicts. We will have a good time like how a father and son have. I am looking forward to spending those few months with him. Otherwise, I don't get to see him a lot. He is a busy actor," he stated. Aanand further said that he will be there with Dhanush for '4 to 5 months' for the film's shoot and they intend to tell a 'beautiful' story.

On similarity with Raanjhanaa

Divulging more details about Tere Ishk Mein, Aanand revealed it's a different story but has one similarity with Raanjhanaa. "The only similarity you can see between these two worlds is that it is full of love, love to a level where... jisko hum Hindi mein bolte hai ki 'jalta hua romance'. It is quite rageful. With an actor like Dhanush, there's no limit on going on intense. I am really looking forward to telling a hard-core love story," he added. 

Rai quipped that he intends to create something 'extraordinary' with Dhanush on this project. On a parting note, when Rai was asked about Tere Ishk Mein's leading lady, the director signed off by saying, "I have (names) in mind right now but I will not disclose it now; but very soon."
