but I don't think anyone of us ever realised the kind of impact DDLJ would have on people when they saw it!” "We just thought we were going to make a really cool film together and hopefully, it will be a hit film and we were all crossing our fingers that the music will do well etc. “We were shooting for DDLJ and we never thought that we were making this!" Kajol said. While making DDLJ, the actor recalled, they had their fingers crossed that the film would turn out to be a hit and as they say, the rest is history. He is not willing to let go off that basic core conviction that he has in his characters and he knows them best." "He is very, very convinced of what he is making and doesn't take on a project if he isn’t absolutely convinced about it. "I think what sets Adi apart is probably his conviction," she said of the filmmaker.
Kajol said Aditya Chopra is one such director who is driven by his "conviction" for a story.ĪLSO READ: 25 years on, editor Keshav Naidu says while piecing together 'DDLJ,' he knew it was brilliant I thought she was just cool, a little old-fashioned but cool."ĭDLJ marked the directorial debut of Aditya Chopra and was produced by his father, veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra. "You want to get that approval, you want to get that feeling of 'you are approved of' and that 'you are doing something right' in the world. Lot of people don't do the right thing but we always want to do that.
"I realised there is a lot of Simran in almost everybody we know, there is always that wanting to do the right thing in someone. The 46-year-old actor said that she initially found Simran "a little boring" but gradually recognised the character. "I think DDLJ is timeless because everybody identifies somewhere down the line with Simran and with Raj," said Kajol in a statement shared by production banner Yash Raj Films (YRF). "I think they just like these characters a lot! They have liked them for years and years now and it's one of those things that you always like and probably will always like."

The film, fondly called DDLJ, completed 25 years on Tuesday, and the actor said the romance between her character, Simran and Shah Rukh Khan's Raj is what makes the movie "timeless". During the same screenings, Goldie disqualified Aamir Khan's Akele Hum Akele Tum which was a blatant copy of the Hollywood film, Kramer v/s Kramer which made Aamir lose faith in private awards and which made his cousin, director Mansoor Khan give up direction for good and made him settle down in Coonoor near Ooty from where he has never returned to making films again.Bollywood star Kajol said that when the shooting of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was on, the team believed they were making a "cool" film together but never anticipated that the movie would go on to have an everlasting impact on pop culture.
Yash Chopra who was the producer of DDLJ was a dear friend of Goldie and decided to have a talk with him, but Goldie was adamant and Yash fell sick for three days, but Goldie stuck to his decision and the decision of his jury. DDLJ was out of the competition and the news somehow spread all over the industry which was taken by shock. He asked the jury for time and the next evening he screened an old Hollywood film called Love On The Orient Express and made the entire jury agree that the idea of DDLJ was plagiarized from the original and as the rules of the jury disqualified any film that was a copy, he as the chairman had decided to disqualify the film as an entry for the awards and the entire jury was one with him. It was time for the screening of the film and Goldie took the jury by shock when he asked for the screening to stop as he said it was a film that was directly lifted from a Hollywood film made forty years ago. In fact, Jeetendra who was on the jury attended only the first meeting and said all his nominations were for DDLJ. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge was the hot favourite for winning awards in all the categories. The screenings for the jury were conducted at Goldie's mini-theatre at Ketnav. Vijay Anand clashed with the Screen jury awards back in 1996.
