‘The Idea Of You’ has become a big talking point all over the world. Ever since the film was announced, people have been wanting to see Anne Hathaway back in romantic film after ages. Add to that her pairing with Nicholas Galitzine is also making headlines every other day.

Nicholas Galitzine opened up in an interview with E! that the film had multiple sources of inspirations but one of the prime ones was the popular KPop band, BTS. “It’s funny just because it’s become this thing in of itself. We have tried to distance ourselves from that, and I think Hayes is such a wonderful character in of himself. There were so many amazing references we used: BTS for a lot of the choreography, which was really great. There’s so many references out there,” said Nicholas Galitzine.
