In his caption, the actor recalled the intense brainstorming sessions that went into creating the film's screenplay. Hrithik wrote, “That afternoon in 1992 (I think) when we were all sitting around dad's (Rakesh Roshan) living room with the writers brainstorming on the screenplay for KARAN ARJUN, after another long spell of silence in the room (sometimes these silences lasted more than 10-15 mins) and suddenly dad went “ek idea aaya“ and he went on to tell us how he saw the beats of the interval fight sequence, and as he talked, his emotions escalated and at the height of the crescendo in his mind he shouted “and then he screams bhaag Arjun !!!! bhaaaaaag Arjun !!!!"
Sharing his excitement about the re-release, Hrithik Roshan added, “And me as a 17 year old experienced my first jolt of audience euphoria !!! My hair stood on ends, the room was applauding like in a movie theatre ! And I was addicted from that day onwards !! And that's also when I knew in my bones that this movie was going to be a BLOCKBUSTER!! 30 years later, I cannot wait to witness the reincarnation of Karan Arjun in theatres worldwide from November 22nd 2024.”
Released in 1995, Karan Arjun also features Kajol, Mamta Kulkarni, Johnny Lever and Ranjeet in important roles.
