Rakesh Roshan's 1995 movie Karan Arjun, featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, has become a classic in Bollywood. Recently, Rakesh opened up about the challenges he faced while working with the two stars. Shah Rukh even confessed that he and Salman gave Rakesh a hard time during the shoot. 

Throwback to earlier times

IIn a segment from the documentary The Roshans, Rakesh opened up about the hurdles he encountered while making the 1995 film Karan Arjun, with Shah Rukh chiming in to share his own thoughts. Netflix shared this clip on Instagram.

Rakesh mentioned, “They started losing interest in the film. When we had a shot ready, even if the sun was setting, they wouldn’t show up when we called. They’d arrive at the last minute, and we had to rush through the shot.” Actor Shatrughan Sinha added, “They (Shah Rukh and Salman) really gave him a hard time. They teased him and didn’t cooperate.”

Shah Rukh also featured in the documentary, reminiscing about the making of Karan Arjun alongside Salman Khan and reflecting on their misbehavior.

"Yeah, we (Shah Rukh and Salman) definitely gave him a tough time; we were both quite the troublemakers,” Shah Rukh admitted. He recalled how Rakesh’s wife, Pinkie Roshan, would often scold him, saying, “Pinkie ji would tell me off a lot. ‘You’re giving Guddu (Rakesh) a hard time. I didn’t expect this from you.’ Between Salman and me, I was a bit more well-behaved, at least on the surface. I’d say, ‘I didn’t do anything. It was all him (Salman).’ We were like two kids really messing with a father figure, to be honest.”

Rakesh mentioned that whenever he pitched an idea, Shah Rukh and Salman would throw out their own suggestions. He recalled saying, “I’d tell them, ‘No, this is what I want.’ And they’d get a bit irritated.”

Shah Rukh added, “One time, he told me to shout while cursing. I said, ‘I can’t do that, I’ve never done it on film before. So, I just yelled instead.’
