Zoya conceived the film as a family drama centered on a brother-sister relationship. She wanted to depict a more realistic sibling relationship in contrast to the dubious and over-the-top portrayal for which Bollywood is known. She later wrote the script with her friend and longtime collaborator Reema Kagti, while Farhan penned the dialogues. Much of the principal photography was done on Pullmantur Cruises' ship MS Sovereign while sailing across the Mediterranean and Europe, and on land in France, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey and Italy.

When Excel Entertainment announced its upcoming films in March 2012, one of them was Zoya Akhtar's next film following Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011). It was reported that she was working on a script and that filming was due to start in December 2012.[7] Akhtar dismissed the reports, saying she was yet to start writing her next script.[8] In May that year, media reports suggested Akhtar was already writing her next film.[9] That July, it was reported the script was about siblings partially based on Akhtar and her brother Farhan Akhtar.[10] Farhan Akhtar later denied reports of the film being autobiographical, saying it had nothing to do with their real life relationship and that it is entirely a work of fiction.[11] In November 2012, Akhtar said she was still writing the script and that the film was a family drama.[12]

Akhtar co-wrote the screenplay with her long-time friend and collaborator Reema Kagti.[13] Akhtar had always aspired to make a family drama with a brother-sister relationship at its core.[14] She felt such topics not been well represented in Indian films,[14] and that the brother-sister relationship bond has always been shown "wrapped in rituals" and never portrayed as it really is. She believed the theme of brother-sister relationships "generally have cheesy representations. They are never at ease. This is one of the most important relationships in the world because nobody else shares your parents. I wanted to show that relationship in Dil Dhadakne Do."[13][14] Akhtar also wanted to showcase the quirkiness of a dysfunctional family, with different layers to each family member, saying, "the beauty of families lies in their flaws".[15][16]

When asked whether the film had any similarities with her own life and family, she said it had none and that the only thing common to herself and the film's characters was the bond between her and her brother; all their problems and conflicts were unalike.[15] Akhtar said the film was a partly fictionalised version of people around her, such as her friends and their families, and her observations from literature and news articles.[17][18] Kagti and Akhtar revealed that some of their material came from observing people of Delhi during their friends' back-to-back, elite-class wedding parties as they were finishing the script; they made notes about people's behaviour and demeanor, and incorporated these into their script.[17] After finalising the characters, they felt something was missing, so they added Pluto, the family dog, as an observer.[19] The completed film has 25 characters and a dog.[18]

During the initial scripting phase, in May 2012, media reports suggested cousins Kareena Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor had been approached to play the siblings and had accepted the parts.[9][10] In late December 2012, Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif joined the cast to play the Kapoors' characters' love interests respectively.[22] In June 2013, Ranbir Kapoor dropped out of the film due to scheduling conflicts with his other projects; he was replaced by Ranveer Singh.[23] It was then reported that after her cousin dropped out, Kareena Kapoor was having second thoughts about appearing in the film; the opportunity to act alongside her cousin had been the main attraction for her.[24] She left the production later that month, saying she could not leave her family for the required three months and calling her decision "her loss".[25] In late June 2013, Akhtar approached Priyanka Chopra to part that role, and Chopra accepted.[26] In October, Anil Kapoor was confirmed to play the role of Chopra and Singh's father in the film. It was also reported that Dimple Kapadia could possibly play his wife, but this was not to be.[27]

In December 2013, Farhan Akhtar confirmed he was playing a crucial role in his sister's film.[28] In January 2014, Anushka Sharma was cast for the role of Singh's love interest.[29] Madhuri Dixit, Tabu and Raveena Tandon were all approached to play Chopra and Singh's mother in the film; although they liked the part, all of them turned down the role because they did not want to play a mother.[30] Akhtar later approached Shefali Shah for the part, which she accepted.[30] Newcomer Ridhima Sud joined the cast in June 2014.[31] A few days later, Rahul Bose was cast to play the role of Manav (Chopra's husband) in the film.[32] Zarina Wahab joined the cast to play Chopra's mother-in-law.[33] Parmeet Sethi was later cast in a supporting role.[34]

Although meant for a surprise, the details about Aamir Khan's voiceover performance as the family dog Pluto was leaked before the film's release.[35] Javed Akhtar had initially provided the voiceover for Pluto. After watching the film weeks before the release, however, Akhtar asked Aamir to do the voiceover and the actor accepted, saying, "I had loved the film so much that I was just happy to be a part of it ... I think it is a great film to be part of".[36]

Compared with the rest of the cast, Akhtar spent a whole year persuading Anil Kapoor to sign up for the film.[37] Akhtar's brother Farhan and father Javed Akhtar also spoke to him about the role. However, when Aamir Khan approached him on Akhtar's behalf, he finally accepted the part.[37] Kapoor described his role of Kamal Mehra as a "manipulative patriarch" and a businessman who "has no qualms about manipulating people, even his own family members, to achieve his goal".[38] He said, "Kamal is a self-made man and does not want to lose [his business empire] and will do anything to save it".[38] Kapoor found playing his character very exciting, being completely opposite to his real self; a patriarch whose company, rather than his family, comes first.[38]

Principal photography began on 17 May 2014 on the Pullmantur Cruises ship MS Sovereign throughout the Mediterranean Sea and onshore in France, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey and Italy.[45][46] Filming on the ship was done over a non-consecutive period of five weeks; the cast and crew members would board the ship at Barcelona and would film the scenes while en route to different destinations; five different places in five weeks, where the cast and crew would shoot the onshore scenes.[45] Onshore filming took two months, finishing on 18 July 2014.[45][47] Filming took ninety days, finishing in early August 2014.[46] The second and final schedule began in mid-August 2014 in Mumbai, and was completed on 23 September 2014.[46][48]

Filming also took place in several locations in Turkey, such as Antalya, Cappadocia and Istanbul.[49] For one scene set in Istanbul's Sophia Museum, tourists and museum staff were used as extras for the sequence, which took six hours to film.[50] For a sequence featuring Chopra and Bose's characters playing squash, Chopra, helped by Bose, had to learn the sport on set.[50] The pre-production work was a challenge for the makers, who had to plan everything in detail; Akhtar and her team reconnoitered to find perfect places to shoot the film.[49] Akhtar found the filming unforgettable, saying, "Can you imagine the whole crew is in a new country everyday! That is what it is like to be on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean. It was logistically insane, visually gorgeous and emotionally cathartic."[49]

The soundtrack received positive reviews from critics, who labelled it more narrative-based than a chartbuster. Chopra's singing on the first fully-Hindi song she had recorded was also lauded by critics.[52] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama gave a rating of 3.5 out of 5, describing it as "a classy soundtrack [that] is unadulterated when it comes to quintessential Bollywood scheme of things".[52] The Times of India also gave it a rating of 3.5 out of 5, calling the compositions "foot-tapping and swingy".[53] In another positive review, Filmfare said the composers had "done a good job despite the hurdles", noting the limiting setting of the film.[54] Koimoi rated it 2.5 out of 5, terming it a mixed bag. However, it praised the songs "Dil Dhadakne Do" and "Pehli Baar", noting them as standouts. The reviewer wrote that Chopra particularly "impresses with her vocals" in the former song.[55]

Dil Dhadakne Do was one of the most highly anticipated films of 2015, owing to its ensemble star cast and the success of Akhtar's previous films Luck By Chance and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.[57][58] The first-look teaser poster, photographed from behind the 6 pivotal characters and their family dog sunbathing on a cruise deck was released on 21 July 2014, almost a year before the scheduled release.[59] The poster did not reveal the actors' looks, instead making the audience puzzle about the actors from behind.[60] A few days later, the first full poster revealing the position of the actors photographed from the front was revealed.[60][61] In April 2015, seven character posters, including one for the family dog Pluto, were released. The poster releases generated much hype for the film.[62] The trailer release was highly anticipated in the media because the plot was kept secret.[63]

Emphasizing the theme of the film, Akhtar and Kapoor hosted a private screening of the trailer for their friends and family.[64][65] The official theatrical release posters were released before the trailer.[66] The almost-three-minute official trailer was released on 15 April 2015, garnering over one million views in less than 24 hours.[67][68] The trailer was well received by the media, who deemed it promising.[68][69] Alaka Sahani of The Indian Express called it "overwhelming" and wrote, "The top-view of the cruise line with expansive ocean as the backdrop, stunning foreign locales and beautiful people in their stylish best make for compelling visuals. But scratch the surface, and you find a dysfunctional family trying hard to act normal to the world."[70] be457b7860
