R. Balki's idea of role reversal to question age-old stereotypical notions about gender, with marriage as the canvas through "Ki & Ka", has bowled over stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Karan Johar and Varun Dhawan.
The celebrities have appreciated the film and the filmmaker for taking on an issue like gender differences in a fun and zingy manner.
"Ki & Ka" aims to dispel gender disparity with its story wherein Arjun Kapoor essays a house husband and Kareena Kapoor Khan is seen as an ambitious, career-oriented woman. The film, slated to release on April 1, has a cameo by Amitabh and his wife Jaya.
Here's what the stars tweeted to appreciate the film's concept:
Amitabh Bachchan: 'Ki & Ka' watched... Bold of Balki to say what is generally believed to have been said behind closed doors!
Karan Johar: Super chemistry between Arjun Kapoor and Kareena in 'Ki & Ka'. New story, new take and zingy narrative make it a must watch!
Varun Dhawan: Just watched 'Ki & Ka'. Great concept and well executed by Balki. Arjun Kapoor and Kareena are the perfect kiandka.
Ayushmann Khurrana: 'Ki & Ka' is fab! Arjun Kapoor is so graceful and beautiful. Kareena is so suave and alpha. Watch this one for the much needed role reversal
Aditi Rao Hydari: A need of the hour 'Ki & Ka'... And role reversals as effortless as breathing! Loved Arjun Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor..Can the ka's line up please!
