The re-release of “Karan Arjun” in November 2024 created quite a renewed interest in this extremely popular movie that deservedly became a cult classic since its release way back in 1995.
Amid the nostalgia, one of the bangs of reminiscence was the funny flashback of Salman Khan having made a prank on the set while shooting with Shah Rukh Khan.

A light-hearted moment that Salman had shared with me in an interview was when he recalled how he shot a stage scuffle in which he used a blank gun to shoot Shah Rukh.
Meant to inject some fun in the shooting process, it took an unexpected turn as Shah Rukh’s character brought panic amongst the crew members, especially director Rakesh Roshan.

The initial shock quickly turned into laughter when Shah Rukh, after a dramatic fall, began snoring, revealing that he was unharmed and merely playing along.
This anecdote not only underlines the playful camaraderie between Salman and Shah Rukh but also reflects a bygone era of filmmaking where spontaneity and humour were integral to the creative process.
