Befikre was the Aditya Chopra's first directorial venture not starring Shah Rukh Khan. In a significant move away from the norm, Aditya Chopra has signed Ranveer Singh and not Shah Rukh Khan for his next film.
It was Aditya’s first film that won’t feature SRK. Aditya Chopra has so far only directed three films, the historical ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’ followed by Mohabbatein 5 years later, followed by ‘Rab Ne Banadi Jodi’ 8 years later.
