One of the most loved Bollywood pairs, Shah Rukh and Kajol just celebrated 20 years of "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" by recreating the iconic poster on the sets of "Dilwale" and the 49-year-old actor thinks it was a co-incidence that brought them together in the Rohit Shetty-directed action-comedy.
"I miss Kajol in every film. With this film she gave us 150 days. She had to be away from her children and I know it is a huge sacrifice for a parent.
SRK-Kajol have collaborated in "Baazigar", "Karan-Arjun", "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham" and "My Name is Khan".
They may be great friends now but SRK did not have a good impression about Kajol when he first met her.
"When I was working with her in 'Baazigar', Aamir asked me about her as he wanted to work with her. I left him a message saying, 'She is very bad, no focus, you will not be able to work with her'. And then I saw the rushes in the evening. I kept callin Aamir to clarify. I told him, 'I don't know what it is but she is magical on the screen'.
Shah Rukh, who is also the producer of the movie, is working round-the-clock to finish shooting "Dilwale" for its scheduled release on December 18. The film also stars Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Johnny Lever, Boman Irani, Varun Sharma, Sanjay Mishra and Pankaj Tripathi among others.
With a generous dose of action, comedy, nostalgia-inducing romance between SRK-Kajol, the movie, judging by the rushes that were screened for the press, seems to be a typical Rohit Shetty entertainer.
