As a dedicated follower of Indian cinema who has witnessed the golden era and the contemporary times, I must say that Karan Arjun remains one of those rare films that truly stand the test of time. The magic of this cult classic lies not only in its captivating storyline but also in the extraordinary chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, two superstars who, despite their rivalry off-screen, managed to deliver a performance for the ages on it.
In a fascinating twist, the iconic film Karan Arjun featured none other than two of Bollywood’s most prominent figures, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Despite speculation over how director Rakesh Roshan persuaded these two stars to collaborate, he has now disclosed the behind-the-scenes story. He explained that by carefully outlining the entire plot to both actors before filming started, he effectively minimized any potential conflicts or trouble that could have arisen.
During a chat with Etimes, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan discussed the difficulties that come with featuring two major stars as co-leads in Karan Arjun, understanding the possible tensions related to feelings of insecurity, rivalry, and competition.
Prior to starting the filming, Roshan met with both Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan to walk them through the entire plot and assign their dialogue lines, expressively. He encouraged them to share any doubts or apprehensions they might have prior to the actual shoot, rather than during the filming process itself.
Roshan carefully crafted the roles so that both characters held equal significance, avoiding any rivalry or feeling of one character trying to outdo the other. Having faced similar issues as an actor himself, he addressed this during the scriptwriting stage, ensuring a well-balanced portrayal for each character.
During a recent chat with SCREEN, the director was inquired about the prospect of teaming up superstars such as Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan for a movie today. He affirmatively stated that this combination might indeed occur.
In other words, the director of Koi Mil Gaya pointed out that the script should provide a fair representation for both leading characters. Drawn from his own acting background, Roshan expressed empathy towards how actors might feel when portraying these roles.
In making Karan Arjun, he ensured that both characters received equal prominence, and should another storyline arise where these actors collaborate, they would find it effortless to work together.
On November 22, 2024, the timeless tale of Karan Arjun will return to cinemas. This captivating story revolves around the idea of reincarnation and showcases the adventures of siblings Karan, portrayed by Salman Khan, and Arjun (played by Shah Rukh Khan). In this narrative, they lose their lives while safeguarding their mother from Thakur Sangram Singh.
In a premonition before their demise, it’s foretold that they would come back to life in order to seek retribution for their murders. The narrative then unfolds as the brothers are reborn and travel towards their original village, where their mother anticipates their long-awaited return.
