Bollywood Latest: Shahrukh to revive DDLJ

It was his career-defining role. As Raj
Malhotra in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge
(DDLJ), Shah Rukh Khan won over legions of
fans and spawned clones as well. And now, as
we have learnt, the actor is set to revisit his
iconic role in the film that marks the return of
the high priest of romance to the genre. Out of
the two different looks SRK sports in Yash
Chopra's to-be-titled next, one is strikingly
similar to that of Raj in DDLJ.
A source close to the project revealed, "The
story takes a major leap of about 15 to 18
years. In the first part of the film, SRK will be
seen as a young carefree youngster romancing
Katrina Kaif. In the second part, he will be
shown as a 40-plus man that is close to the
way he looks now."
Aditya Chopra, who has written the script,
thought SRK has a huge connect with his fans,
especially from his DDLJ days and insisted on a
look similar to his character in the film.
"Although no one quite knows the story of
Yashji's film, it is now known that SRK will
have two distinct looks. The second one, that of
a man in his 40's, will be similar to the way he
looks now. A lot of work will go into making
SRK look exactly like Raj of DDLJ. SRK is very
excited to play his younger self, and some of
those portions have already been shot in
London," informed the source.
