Still from DDLJ
Flashback Friday: It`s been 28 years since the release of Aditya Chopra`s debut directorial `Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge`. It is a film that does not require much of an introduction. Whether you are a millennial or a Gen Z, this is a one film you must have watched or the least, heard of. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol`s romantic characters Raj and Simran were immortalised as symbols of love through this film. To date, the film continues to screen at the iconic Maratha Mandir in Mumbai. While one cannot imagine anyone else as Raj apart from the ever charming Shah Rukh Khan, the actor himself was not convinced of doing the role initially.
Shah Rukh Khan had rejected the film four times. The actor was not convinced that the audience would accept him in a completely romantic role. Before the 1995 film, Shah Rukh Khan shone with his anti-hero roles in films like `Baazigar` and `Darr`.
