Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Kajol and Hrithik Roshan took to social media on Wednesday to share a new trailer for the 1995 classic Karan Arjun, which is re-releasing in theatres on November 22, marking its 30th anniversary.
The film was directed and produced by Hrithik’s father Rakesh Roshan. While sharing the trailer on his Instagram, Hrithik recalled an anecdote about the film’s making. He 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!!!”
The post further read, “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.”
Shah Rukh also shared the trailer and wrote, “Kuch bandhan aise hote hai, jinke liye ek janam poora nahi hota! (Some bonds are such that one birth for them is not enough) Karan Arjun re-releasing in cinemas worldwide from Nov 22nd!”, Kajol wrote, “Yeh toh buss trailer hai, dekhiye Karan Arjun ke pyaar ka bandhan duniya bhar ke cinema gharon mein phir ek baar 22 November see! (This is just the trailer, watch Karan Arjun’s bond of love in cinemas worldwide from November 22).” Salman also shared the trailer and wrote, “World Wide Re-Release on 22nd November #30yearsOfKaranArjun.”
Apart from Shah Rukh, Salman and Kajol, Karan Arjun also starred Mamta Kulkarni, Rakhee Gulzar and Amrish Puri.
