Mohabbatein, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, is one of the cult classics in Hindi cinema. Released in 2000, the film is close to 90s kids' hearts for its impactful storylines, music and multi-love story angles. As the iconic film gears up to complete 25 years next year, fans wonder if it might get a theatrical re-release, just like many other classics that have been re-released this year. Now, the 'chocolate boy' of that era, Jimmy Sheirgill, who played Karan in the film, has spilled the beans about the film's re-release on the special occasion.
What Jimmy Shergill say?
In a talk with ANI, the actor said, "25 pe toh karni hi chahie. Even today, kids watch the film whenever it's on TV, and it feels amazing to be part of such a timeless movie." Directed by Aditya Chopra, Mohabbatein featured a cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Jimmy Shergill. The film revolves around multiple love stories set in a prestigious college where love and discipline clash under the leadership of a strict principal. The music of the film was a chartbuster, and its iconic dialogues are remembered by fans to this day.
