As someone who has been following Bollywood for decades, I can confidently say that reminiscing about the golden era of the 90s is always a delightful journey down memory lane. The re-release of Karan Arjun, one of the most iconic films of that era, brings me immense joy as it reminds me of the magic created by Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.
As an ardent fan, I can’t help but reminisce about one of Bollywood’s timeless masterpieces – Karan Arjun, starring none other than Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. With its re-release just around the corner, it feels like a dream come true! Recently, I had the privilege to chat with the film’s visionary director, who graciously shared an unforgettable anecdote.
During a special conversation with TopMob, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan shared an intriguing tale from the pre-release period of Karan Arjun. He disclosed that it was Salim Khan, in particular, who showed exceptional faith in the movie’s success before it hit the screens.
He said, “Yash Ji’s office was in Rajkamal Studio. Aditya Chopra and Hrithik, they were friends. I had to mix the film over there. So Adi used to come and see some reels and all that. And he used to always tell me, ‘Rakesh uncle, yeh aapki picture bohot jabardast hone wali’. (Rakesh uncle, your picture is going to be hit). Toh mein sochta tha, bachche hain aise hi bol rahe hain khush karne ke liye. Har picture ki naseeb hoti hai. (I used to think that they are just kids trying to make me happy. Every film has its destiny).”
Personally, I found a pivotal moment in my journey when I extended an invitation to Salman Khan’s family for the premiere of Karan Arjun at Raj Kapoor Studio. During the screening, Salim Sahab visited during the interval and shared his thoughts, saying “You can’t even imagine what you have created.” Hearing such words from Salim, who had awakened my spirit, filled me with confidence that perhaps this creation might resonate with the audience.
During the intermission, Salim informed me, “What you’ve created is beyond your imagination.” This boosted my confidence, as his comment, “You left me speechless,” made me believe that my work could possibly resonate with the audience.
