Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are two of the biggest acting names in our country. The Bollywood superstars shared screen space for the first time in Rakesh Roshan's 1995 hit film Karan Arjun. Both actors took the industry by storm with their memorable performances in the film. SRK and Salman played brothers in the film, and fans immediately fell in love with their incredible jodi. The movie also featured Rakhee Gulzar, Amrish Puri, Kajol and Mamta Kulkarni in key roles. The good news is that after almost 30 years of its release, the makers have decided to re-release the iconic Hindi film in the theatres. Hrithik Roshan on ‘Karan Arjun’ Re-Release; Actor Shares How His Father Rakesh Roshan Created the Iconic ‘Bhaag Arjun Bhaag’ Scene.

Further shared that they worked on just 2 songs and a few scenes together; however, through her little experience with SRK, she found him very involved with his character.  She said, "He used to joke around in the set, but whenever it came to delivering a scene, SRK used to be very involved."
