Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's Karan Arjun is one of the classics of the Hindi film industry. Directed by Rakesh Roshan, the 1995 action drama starred Bollywood's biggest superstars, Salman and Shah Rukh, as brothers. Now, after 30 years, the film has been re-released in theatres, and Rakesh Roshan has talked about who could be the modern-day Karan Arjun. To our surprise, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are not the modern-day Karan Arjun according to Rakesh Roshan. Instead, the director chose Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor as a potential alternate duo.
In a new interview with ETimes, Rakesh ruled out any possibility of a sequel and shared, "I won’t remake Karan Arjun or make a sequel, but if I were to think of an alternate jodi (duo) for the movie today, I would cast Hrithik Roshan as Karan and Ranbir Kapoor as Arjun."
