DDLJ To Re-Release In Select Theatres On Nov 2

The 1995 romance film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, which starred Kajol as the lead opposite SRK, redefined what love meant to the younger generation and over the time developed a cult following. On Wednesday, November 2, the film will be re-released in a limited number of cinemas across several cities after playing continuously for the past 27 years in the Maratha Mandir theatre in Mumbai.

The film was a hit, and Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan became a well-known on-screen pair. Among the other actors in the movie were Amrish Puri, Farida Jalal, Anupam Kher, Satish Shah, and Himani Shivpuri. The movie has also won 10 Filmfare Awards.

Shah Rukh will soon be seen in Pathaan, and Pathaan and DDLJ share Yash Raj Films as a common factor. Aditya Chopra made his directorial debut with the former, and he is also backing the upcoming action movie for the production company. While YRF has announced the DDLJ re-release via social media, it has remained silent on the Pathaan teaser.

The teaser for Siddharth Anand's film, however, is reportedly going to be presented on Shah Rukh's birthday by the actor himself. In addition, the Pathaan star cast's character posters and date announcement were both released without prior notice. In addition to the superstar, Pathaan also stars John Abraham and Deepika Padukone in key roles. The action movie, which will be available in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, will open in theatres on January 25, 2023. Additionally, Salman Khan will make a special guest appearance.

Along with Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Shah Rukh Khan will also appear in Atlee's Jawan, which also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, and others.
