Director Rakesh Roshan has re-released his iconic film `Karan Arjun` and revealed the movie`s intriguing and complex casting history. Initially, the roles were supposed to be played by Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan, but due to certain issues, the casting plans changed. Roshan almost signed Aamir Khan to star opposite Salman Khan, but later decided to replace Aamir with Shah Rukh Khan. Roshan also shared an interesting anecdote about Shah Rukh’s initial reluctance to accept the film`s theme of reincarnation. However, after the massive success of Karan Arjun, Shah Rukh humorously admitted his misjudgment and the director even joked that the success of the film inspired him to make `Om Shanti Om.` When asked if he would consider remaking `Karan Arjun,` Roshan suggested that Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor would be his ideal choices for the new version.

The iconic Bollywood film `Karan Arjun` will be re-released theatrically on November 22, with a new trailer launched on November 13, sparking nostalgia among fans. Director Rakesh Roshan explained that despite the film being 30 years old, its popularity endures due to the star power of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan and their lasting cultural influence. He also shared how the iconic dialogues "Karan Arjun Aayenge" and "Bhaag Arjun Bhaag" came to be, describing it as a moment of inspiration that perfectly captured the film`s themes of destiny and the bond between the characters.
