Punit Malhotra has said that his latest film Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is not a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy.
The film sees Kareena Kapoor and Imran Khan pair up for the first time since the romance Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu.
He told IANS: "I hope Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is not perceived as a romcom because there is a deeper meaning in the second half."
The movie's composer Vishal Dadlani added: "The film never becomes heavy and the things that need to be told have been told beautifully, and it is still a fun and entertaining film. According to me, this film can redefine the way romcoms are thought of in this country."
Khan plays a city dweller who meets a village girl, played by Kareena Kapoor, who he decides to follow across the country and woo.
"Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is a film that starts as a romcom, there is a romantic story, but it is not just a romcom. It is more than that," Dadlani claimed.

"When you see the film you will see the message, which according to me, without being preachy, tells the youth how to relate with your country. It has been shown beautifully."
Producer Karan Johar revealed last month that the story of a doomed romance happened to Punit Malhotra.
He has previously said that he wishes the film's stars were married to each other in real life because of their on-screen chemistry.
