Vicky Kaushal plays titular role in ‘Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat’

New Delhi: After much speculation surrounding the role on whom the film’s title is based, Anurag Kashyap has revealed Vicky Kaushal as DJ Mohabbat in his directorial ‘Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat’.

This also marks the fourth collaboration between Anurag and the actor, who plays a special role and will feature in a never-seen-before avatar in the coming-of-age romantic film.

Talking about Vicky’s special role in the film, Anurag said in a statement, ‘The character of DJ Mohabbat is so integral to the story, that I wanted someone special to play it. DJ Mohabbat is the voice of love, and is the conduit between two stories and I wanted someone who is that.
Someone everyone loves because they trust and believe him. Vicky is that to me since I’ve known him. Always speaks his heart, never forgets, is grateful to his audience and people and the characters he plays. When I asked “if not SRK then who ?”. My whole cast and my daughter and her friends in unison said Vicky Kaushal.”

Dharti ka seena phaad ke, aasman ke baadal chhant ke...Aa gayi Mohabbat...Jo laayegi Kranti! ✊
