EXCLUSIVE: Rakesh Roshan reacts to Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Bhaag Pathaan bhaag’ scene; talks about Karan Arjun’s ‘big impact’
In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Rakesh Roshan reacted to Karan Arjun's famous dialogue inspiring a line in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan.
The 1995 movie Karan Arjun is set to re-release in theaters ahead of its 30th anniversary. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, director Rakesh Roshan talked about the impact of the film. He reacted to the movie’s famous dialogue ‘Bhaag Arjun bhaag’ being used in Pathaan, where Salman Khan says to Shah Rukh Khan, ‘Bhaag Pathaan bhaag.’
Regarding Karan Arjun’s dialogue being tweaked in the Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan scene in Pathaan, Rakesh Roshan exclusively told Pinkvilla, “You like it because aisa lagta hai ki yeh abhi tak itni popular dialogues hain ki ‘Mere Karan Arjun aayenge,’ ‘bhaag Arjun bhaag,’ yeh sab abhi bhi use hote rehte hain (You like it because it seems that these dialogues are still so popular that, ‘My Karan Arjun will come,’ ‘Run Arjun run,’ all these are still being used).”
He continued, “Abhi bhi mai woh Kapil ka show dekhta hun toh kabhi kabhi woh dono Karan Arjun bante hain toh accha lagta hai (Even now when I watch Kapil's show and sometimes when they become Karan Arjun, it feels good). So that means that film had created such a big impact at that point in time. Today's generation also knows about all these dialogues and all the scenes and all that.”
