Casting coups in Bollywood
Karan Arjun, 1995
Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan together. Need we say more?
At the time, Salman was riding high with the super success of Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hai Kaun. Shah Rukh had established himself with Darr and Baazigar.
Director Rakesh Roshan's earlier film with Shah Rukh, King Uncle, had flopped badly.
He managed to convince both stars to feature in the film, based on a story about reincarnation.
Despite the outdated theme, the audiences loved the movie and it became a big hit.
One Hrithik Roshan can be spotted in the credits, listed as assistant director.
