The first look of Imtiaz Ali’s next movie Jab Harry Met Sejal is finally out. Starring Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in the leads, the film is set to release on August 4.
Late on Thursday night, Shah Rukh, Anushka and Imtiaz ended the mystery regarding the title of the film by sharing it on their respective social media handles. Jab Harry Met Sejal seems like an obvious take on the Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal classic, When Harry met Sally.
Interestingly, the title is also reminiscent of Imtiaz’s super-hit movie Jab We Met. The romantic drama, widely shot in Prague, Amsterdam, Lisbon and Budapest, marks the third time that the two actors have been paired after Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Jab Tak Hai Jaan.
The first look has a positive and happy go lucky feel with Shah Rukh and Anushka portrayed at their jovial best.
Taking this positivity forward, Shah Rukh, who is also presenting the movie under his Red Chillies Entertainments banner took to twitter to share the love:
“…is seeking you,” Shah Rukh posted for fans on Twitter, alongside the film’s first two looks which carry the tagline – “What you seek is seeking you”

Sources suggest, August 4 will see Jab Harry Met Sejal clash with Ashay Kumar’s, Toilet: Aik Prem Katha. Both films will get their own audiences – setting a precedent for the industry where clashes of big films has been resulting in divided and damaged revenues.
Shah Rukh’s own movie Raees clashed with Kaabil earlier this year, but emerged the front runner.
