Two weeks ago, Karan Arjun’s (1995) re-release became a major talking point. The film is memorable as it brought Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan together. 28 years later, they shared screen space in Pathaan (2023) and Tiger 3 (2023). Their scene led to a frenzy in cinemas as audience couldn’t keep calm on seeing their favourite stars in one frame. Salman also worked with the other Khan – Aamir Khan – in Andaz Apna Apna (1994). But Shah Rukh and Aamir have never worked together in a film, except for a scene in Pehla Nasha (1993), starring Deepak Tijori. In fact, if the two stars never work together in future, Pehla Nasha would be the only movie where they shared screen space.
EXCLUSIVE: Ashutosh Gowariker talks about being the ONLY filmmaker to get Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan together in a film: “They came together for me and Deepak Tijori; had fun…”
Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Ashutosh Gowariker, who directed Pehla Nasha, a few days ago. When asked about this feat, he smiled and replied, “All of them were my co-actors. With Aamir, I had done Holi (1984) and with Shah Rukh, I had worked in Circus (1992), Chamatkar (1992) and Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1993). They all knew that I had a great interest in directing. Hence, when I was going on floors with my debut film and I had this scene, they all came together and we had fun shooting it.”
Talking specifically about Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, Ashutosh Gowariker stated, “Both of them had already met casually many times. They came together saying ‘Ashu ki picture hai’ and also because Deepak was being launched as a lead actor.”
In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama during the 60th birth anniversary of Neeraj Vora, Deepak Tijori also spoke about this scene. He revealed, “The photograph of me, Shah Rukh, Aamir, Rahul Roy, Pooja, Raveena and Sudesh Berry has become a cult. They all came to shoot for the scene as they were all friends. In those days, we used to support each other. We used to go to each other’s premieres. Dheere dheere ab yeh kam hone laga hai. Imagine, Saif, Shah Rukh, Aamir and all came wearing their own suits and mouthed dialogues with their film titles!”
