“I don’t change the radio channel when a DDLJ song comes on. Shah Rukh Khan says he still listens to the songs of the film. It ran for over 20 years in Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir theatre.Īpart from Shah Rukh and Kajol, late actor Amrish Puri, Farida Jalal, Anupam Kher and Parmeet Sethi also left an indelible mark with stellar performances.īeyond fresh storytelling, characterisation and performances, the film is also remembered to this day for the songs Jatin-Lalit composed. So, you might see some quirks, habits and mannerisms that were true to my off-screen persona - especially the sense of humour part,” he added.ĭDLJ went on to become the longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema. “It was one of those roles that I realised I can do with me using a version of my real self. So, when I was presented with the opportunity by Adi and Yash (Chopra) Ji to essay the role, I was excited to work with him but had no idea how to go about it, and also if I would be able to do it well.” Also, I always felt that I wasn’t cut out to play any romantic type of character. Before ‘DDLJ’, there was ‘Darr’, ‘Baazigar’ and ‘Anjaam’ - films in which I had portrayed negative characters. Recalling playing Raj, Shah Rukh Khan said: “Raj was unlike anything I had done. The film kicked off the trend of NRI romances on the Bollywood screen, and also reorganised romance in Hindi cinema forever.
Released on October 20, 1995, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, which starred SRK and Kajol, the film tells the love story of Raj (SRK) and Simran (Kajol) who live in the UK.
“I have to admit, for someone who doesn’t like mushy and romantic films, the scenes Kajol and I did make me feel fuzzy and warm! There, I said it,” Shah Rukh Khan smiled.
