Karan Johar's directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, will be completing 25 years on October 16. The celebration kickstarted with the filmmaker's comeback, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Now, as the anniversary comes closer, the director announced the 2.0 version of the popular song, Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayee. Picturised on Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji, the recreated rendition is expected to release soon.

On Tuesday, Sony Music India teased fans with a nostalgic moment on Instagram. Sharing the poster of Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayee, their caption read, "Throwback Tuesday: After 25 years, here's bringing back all the feels with #TujheYaadNaMeriAayee by @bpraak and @jaani777 Coming soon. @jatinpanditofficial @lalitpanditofficial @sameeranjaanofficial #TuesdayMood #JatinPandit #LalitPandit #Jaani #SameerAnjaan #BPraak #ComingSoon #StayTuned."

The original song, Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayee, was voiced by Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, and Manpreet Akhtar. Composed by Jatin-Lalit, the lyrics were penned by Sameer Anjaan. The new rendition will be by B Praak and Jaani.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai released on October 16, 1998. The film was centered around Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), Anjali (Kajol) and Tina (Rani Mukerji). Rahul, a stud of the college, falls in love with Tina, a glamorous yet desi-at-heart London-returned new girl. Anjali, a tomboy and Rahul's best friend secretly loves him. She is heartbroken with Rahul and Tina's closeness. Years later, Tina passes away during childbirth but wants their daughter to reunite Rahul and Anjali. The latter undergoes a major transformation and succumbs to conventional beauty standards.

Karan returned to direction after a hiatus of 7 years. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani was his 7th directorial in his 25-year-long career. The family entertainer was declared successful at the box office and received rave reviews too. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani was headlined by Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt.

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is currently streaming on Prime Video. The makers have added a couple of extra portions to the OTT version as the theatrical run was inching closer to 3 hours.
