GUWAHATI, Nov 13: Almost thirty years after Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan starrer ‘Karan Arjun’ created a storm in Bollywood, its re-release, planned on Nov 22 to mark three decades of the superhit movie, has become the talking point among movie buffs.

Taking to Instagram, Hrithik wrote: “That afternoon in 1992 ( I think) when we were all sitting around dads living room with the writers brainstorming on the screenplay for KARAN ARJUN, after another long spell of silence in the room ( sometimes these silences lasted more than 10-15 mins) and suddenly dad went “ ek idea aaya “ and he went on to tell us how he saw the beats of the interval fight sequence , and as he talked , his emotions escalated and at the height of the crescendo in his mind he shouted “ and then he screams भाग अर्जुन !!!! bhaaaaaag अर्जुन !!!! And me as a 17 year old experienced my first jolt of audience euphoria !!! My hair stood on ends, the room was applauding like in a movie theatre ! And I was addicted from that day onwards !!
And that’s also when I knew in my bones that this movie was going to be a BLOCKBUSTER!!”
“30 years later, I cannot wait to witness the reincarnation of Karan Arjun in theatres worldwide from November 22nd 2024,” he concluded while confirming the re-release date of the movie.
Kajol , the female lead of ‘Karan Arjun’, also took to her social media and shared the film’s trailer.
“Yeh toh buss trailer hai, dekhiye #KaranArjun ke pyaar ka bandhan duniya bhar ke cinema gharon mein phir ek baar 22 November se!” she wrote.
Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Kajol in the lead roles, it was released in January 1995 and became a super hit.
