Karan Johar on remaking Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Karan Johar recently opened up about remaking Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in a hypothetical set up.
Karan Johar’s directorial debut film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai completed 25 years today. The movie starred Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji in pivotal roles. Recently, while revisiting the movie, the filmmaker revealed that if Kuch Kuch Hota Hai would have been remade today, with younger actors, he would pick Alia Bhatt for Anjali’s role.
Not just that, in an interview with ETimes, Karan also shared that Janhvi Kapoor or Ananya Panday would be great for Tina’s (Rani Mukerji) role. “I think they are an irreplaceable cast, but if you put me in a hypothetical situation, then I would say Alia would be a great Anjali. Maybe, Janhvi (Kapoor) or Ananya (Panday) would be a great Tina. Rahul is tough… maybe Ranveer Singh,” Karan shared.
Yesterday night, Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji and director Karan Johar surprised fans watching special screenings of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. On Sunday night, Karan hosted three special screenings of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in Mumbai as the film completes 25 years. With the film, Karan Johar too completed 25 years in the industry. While fans gathered to relive the iconic film, no one was prepared to watch SRK, Rani and Karan take the centre stage. Fans got emotional as they watched the trio reunite. Kajol couldn’t attend the event due to an outdoor schedule.
Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai remains an iconic film to have come out in the history of Indian Cinema. Whether it was Shah Rukh Khan’s palpable chemistry with Rani Mukerji and Kajor or indelible dialogues such as ‘Tussi Jaa Re Ho, Tussi Na Jaao’, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai continues to be a memorable watch even today. Apart from this, the film also featured Salman Khan as a cameo.
