Here's How Kajol Was Cast In Karan Arjun

No vanity vans, a family-like set and two rising stars. Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan says Karan Arjun, starring Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan as brothers reincarnated, is the story of a mother's belief which unfolds like a fairytale.

Roshan is re-releasing the movie on November 22 just ahead of its 30th anniversary in January.

He said both Salman and Shah Rukh had different reasons for doing the film, which originally released on January 13, 1995 and featured veteran stars Rakhee and Amrish Puri. Mamta Kulkarni, Kajol and Johnny Lever were also part of the movie.

"I had worked with Rakhee a lot as an actor and with Amrish Puri ji in Kishen Kanhaiya. We became good friends. Shah Rukh worked with me in King Uncle. In fact, I gave him the first cheque as a signing amount though his other two films (Deewana and Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman) released prior to King Uncle," Roshan told PTI in an interview.
