The production house has its fingers crossed over Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and expect the SRK-Aditya Chopra magic to work. They’ve refrained from a publicity overdrive but are gearing up for a never-before worldwide release, across the USA, the UK and Europe. Aditya Chopra has also barred newcomer Anushka Sharma from talking to the press for now.
