Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani: Karan Johar pays tribute to Yash Chopra with the Tum Kya Mile song feat. Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt

Tum Kya Mile, the much-awaited song from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, will be out today, much to the excitement of the fans. With Karan Johar's magic, this is the first overtly romantic song featuring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt together on screen. Ahead of the song's release, the filmmaker released a beautiful still featuring the lead actors and penned a heartfelt note. Karan wrote that the track is a tribute to Yash Chopra, who made Kashmir the go-to place to shoot romantic sequences.

KJo wrote, "In a few hours, Tum Kya Mile will be yours. I remember that at the very onset, my instinct was that I wanted to film a love song that would unabashedly pay homage to my guru, Yash Chopra. The thinking, evolved mind would say, 'You can’t match it or even dare to emulate it,' but the fanboy and the ardent lover of snow, chiffons, the stunning locations of Kashmir, and sheer romance got the better of me."

He further thanked Pritam Chakraborty for composing the music and Vaibhavi Merchant for her choreography. It read as "Pritam Dada and I yearned for a song for the ages, and it had to be unapologetic, or it wouldn’t be true. My deepest gratitude to Vaibhavi Merchant, who got the Memo better than I did and completely took charge, and being a Yash Chopra lover herself, she gave her heart to our song."

Karan also revealed that Alia shot for the song after giving birth to Raha last year. He stated, "This is also the first shoot Alia did after the birth of her angel, and I remain sorry for freezing her in Manish Malhotra chiffons. In sympathy, I fell drastically ill through the shoot (perhaps a karmic punishment). Ranveer was nervous as this was his first lip sync mountain love song, but he was a real trooper."

He concluded by writing, "So we are back to the valleys for an Ishq Wala lip sync chiffon saree song... I hope you feel the love as much as we felt the cold. This one’s for you, Yash uncle."
