Outside a few special cameos, the king khans of Bollywood have rarely shared a single screen. In 1995, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan came together to star in Karan Arjun. Director Rakesh Roshan directed Karan Arjun which soon became a cult classic in the Bollywood industry.
Now remembering working on the film 25 years since its release Salman Khan tweeted about Karan Arjun. He wrote, "Karan Arjun is a special film. It is the first time that Shah Rukh and I came together on-screen. I have so many beautiful memories attached to this movie. Karan Arjun is a complete entertainment package and even 25 years after its release, fans can sit together with their families and enjoy it."
The film also stars Kajol, Raakhee Gulzar and Mamta Kulkarni in pivotal roles.
Rakesh Roshan also wrote about directing Karan Arjun. "When I had written Karan Arjun, I knew I had to write a different kind of a story from all the work I had done. Reincarnation as a topic was doing the rounds since the black and white era but when I decided to make a film on the theme but using two brothers, I faced a lot of criticism and rejection. So, I wrote the movie with a different lens like that about a mother-son bond," Roshan said.
"I had immense belief in the story and somehow knew that my audience would feel and believe every dialogue narrated by the characters. The reaction the movie received then and even today is still overwhelming. The fact that a mother's dialogue like Mere Karan-Arjun Aayenge got the status it has, is all because of the conviction it was delivered with. If at that time they returned from an unimaginable place, it would have been accepted by the audience. Conviction is the one element that is behind the success of the movie and the milestone being celebrated today," the famous director said.
