Bollywood studio Yash Raj Films has said Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge will be released once again in theatres across India on Wednesday on the occasion of the star’s 57th birthday.
The production house shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday, revealing that the romance drama will be screened in PVR, INOX and Cinepolis theatres on Wednesday.
“Palat….as DDLJ is coming back to the big screen. Experience the legendary journey of Raj and Simran on 2nd November, 2022 in theatres across India,” the caption reads.
Fondly called DDLJ, the 1995 film marked the directorial debut of filmmaker Yash Chopra’s son Aditya Chopra. The movie saw Shah Rukh and Kajol emerge as romantic heartthrobs in Bollywood. It also boasted of stellar performances by Amrish Puri, Farida Jalal, Anupam Kher, Satish Shah and Himani Shivpuri.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is also remembered for its picturesque European locales and Punjab’s mustard fields, as well as songs like Na Jaane Mere, Tujhe Dekha and Ruk Ja by Lata Mangeshkar, Udit Narayan and Kumar Sanu on the memorable tunes by Jatin-Lalit.
Shah Rukh, who will celebrate his 57th birthday on Wednesday, will next be seen in Pathaan, backed by Yash Raj Films. Also starring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, the spy thriller will be released on January 25.
The Bollywood superstar will also star in Jawan, directed by Atlee and co-starring Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi, as well as in Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki.
