About Karan Arjun

Rakesh Roshan’s most loved film, Karan Arjun, starred Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in the lead roles. Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan served as assistant director on his father Rakesh Roshan’s ’90s blockbuster. Karan Arjun was re-released in theatres on November 22, 2024.  

Besides Salman and Shah Rukh, the film also starred Rakhee, Kajol, Mamta Kulkarni, and Amrish Puri. It told the story of two brothers who are reincarnated to seek revenge on their mother’s behalf. Over the years, Karan Arjun (1995) has remained etched in pop culture due to its highly recalled dialogues like “Mere Karan Arjun Aayenge,” soul-stirring music by Rajesh Roshan in songs like Yeh Bandhan Toh…, Bhangda Paale, Rana Ji Maaf Karna, and Jaati Hoon Main, along with the endearing theme of brotherhood.
