Vishal Dadlani says Come Fall In Love- The DDLJ Musical will make every Indian proud

Aditya Chopra is adapting his much celebrated project Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge into a musical broadway titled Come Fall In Love. With this show, the YRF head honcho is trying to tell an important and relevant thing in today’s times. The show is about the celebration of inclusivity and diversity in a world that’s getting polarised and is about the celebration of love and how it can unify people and cultures and break down all barriers.

Chef Vikas Khanna recently shared a post on Twitter that read- "Raj is our childhood, youth, love & pride. Many Westerners will never understand what DDLJ means to us. I just saw HOUSEFULL show of @kiterunnerbway on BROADWAY w all colored cast. It received standing applause. Let’s not make our kids feel less on our own stage #DDLJMusical."
