Director Aditya Chopra has revealed a grand vision for “Come Fall in Love,” the stage adaptation of his immensely popular 1995 film Bollywood film “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,” commonl…
Chopra said: “I first conceived the story of DDLJ as a Hollywood love story of a white American man and an Indian woman. My main motivation at that time was to present Indian culture and values to a global audience. Years later, as I reimagine the story as a Broadway musical, my mainstay is still the same, showcasing Indian culture to a world audience.
“Come Fall In Love” is the story of Simran, an Indian American, as she struggles to balance her love for Indian tradition and her family with her love for Roger, a white American man who falls madly in love with her, and then falls in love with her culture and her country. Roger finds a new version of himself in India’s energy, values and way of life,” said Chopra.
“I’m not directing ‘DDLJ’ for Broadway. I’m adapting it as ‘Come Fall In Love’ to tell the story of how powerful love is in unifying cultures, especially today. In 2022, the notion that ‘DDLJ’ could be adapted to present a vision of diverse cultures coming together in a story that celebrates love and the power it has to unify everyone, moves me greatly,” said Chopra.
“In making a new ‘DDLJ’ for a new moment and a new audience, I’ve departed from some aspects of the film that our fans revere. But I believe that the heart of ‘Come Fall In Love’ beats with everything that is essential in ‘DDLJ’ even as it speaks, sings and dances to this moment, in a different place and time, with hope, optimism and love,” Chopra added.
Leading Indian songwriters Vishal Dadlani and Sheykhar Ravjiani serve as composers. “Come Fall In Love – The DDLJ Musical” will play at the Old Globe theater in San Diego on Sept. 1- Oct. 16 and move to Broadway after that.
