Thirteen years after Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge took the country by storm, and eight years after Mohabbatein, Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan have come together for their new film, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

And it was evident that SRK was approaching this new role with his old comrade with as much passion as ever on the first day of shooting on May 16.

"Starting the first day of shooting still gives me goose bumps," Shah Rukh said. "And to make films with Yash Raj, that too when Adi is directing, is an experience that is more than 100 percent exciting. Yash Raj Films is, and will always be, home for me and who doesn't love coming home? Yashji and Adi have always given me roles that have gotten me love and appreciation from fans all over the world. And this time Adi has again written a character for me to play that I think will become as beloved as Raj of DDLJ was."

The film stars newcomer Anushka Sharma, who was eagerly looking forward to this day -- the first day of shooting. Yash Chopra was also present on the sets.
