Saaj will be joining the musical adaptation of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, one of the biggest blockbuster films in the history of Indian cinema.
Entitled Come Fall in Love and helmed by Aditya Chopra, the original director of the Hindi-language film (also commonly known as DDLJ), the stage version’s narrative will be set in the UK.
It follows Simran, a young British Indian woman, who finds herself engaged to a family friend in India in an arranged marriage. However, the plot thickens when she falls in love with a British man named Roger.
Saaj will be part of the ensemble.
DDLJ is the longest-running title in Indian cinema and has been playing continuously in Mumbai since its release back in 1995.
The musical will open at Manchester’s Opera House on 29 May 2025, playing through until 21 June 2025.
