Eros International Media Limited, a leading global company in the Indian film entertainment industry, once again joins hands with Sony Music , to present the love story of the year – <em>Raanjhanaa. Raanjhanaa</em> is a romantic story starring Sonam Kapoor and South sensation Dhanush that will highlight the essence of love and simplicity. Sony Music will distribute and promote the music of the movie across all physical and digital platforms. The Hindi and Tamil original sound track of <em>Raanjhanaa</em> will be distributed under the co-branding of Sony Music and Eros Music labels.

It was Juhi Chawla who once said, “I always thought no make-up meant you could use a bit of lipstick at least.” And Govind Nihalani had a tough time convincing Kareena to simply wash her face, and face the camera in <em>Dev</em>. For a mainstream actress specially one as fashion-conscious as Sonam Kapoor, no make-up and no designer outfits and certainly expensive accessories, are inconceivable. But that’s exactly what Aanand Rai demanded—and eventually got—out of Sonam in <em>Raanjhanaa</em>. It wasn’t easy to convince Sonam.

Sonam Kapoor who has turned 17 in Varanasi for her character in Raanjhanaa is trapped in a strange dilemma. Her character can’t get older until a ghost voice is found for her. The director Aanand Rai is looking for a singer who can express the 17-year old Sonam’s emotions as she falls in love for the first time.

29-year old Tamil superstar Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor, who is 26, would be playing 17-year olds in an important segment of Aanand Kumar’s love story Raanjhanaa. It was earlier planned to cast two teenagers as the younger versions of Sonam and Dhanush’s career. But, the hunt for the right face and body language proved futile.
