Rakesh Roshan remembered how Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan used to shoot guns on the sets of 'Karan Arjun'.
Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan treated the sets of Rakesh Roshan-directed, Karan Arjun like a vacation. They were known to be the new brats on the shooting location, and because of that, work used to take a backstep. Karan Arjun is best known for its famous dialogues; the on-screen bonding of the two stars on the movie sets was all things different. Rakesh felt he was trying to take charge of SRK, Salman and Shah Rukh. He recently shared how the superstars used to fire outside his hotel premises during the shooting.
During a recent interview with Radio Nasha, Rakesh shared how SRK and Salman used to trouble him at night by firing outside his hotel premises. The stars who were back young then were young adults and were known for their pranks. Rakesh shared that he would sometimes get angry but control himself as they would say whatever. Sometimes, they would go out of line while making fun, and he would think that he should not be like them. Rakesh used to behave like a father figure, making them understand. He remembered how they would shoot guns outside his hotel room. He said:
"They would be outside my room shooting guns. I would be sleeping at night and I would hear guns going off, bottles flying. When I would ask them ‘What are you doing?’ They would say ‘Aapko disturb kar rahe hain."
SRK was recently seen in the docu-drama series, The Roshans and remembered how Salman used to trouble Rakesh on the sets of Karan Arjun. He had shared that it was like two young children who were troubling their dad. The megastar also said that he was sorry for Rakesh for his naughty behaviour. SRK had said:
"Pinkie ji scolded me a lot. ‘You are troubling Guddu (Rakesh) a lot. I didn’t expect it from you.’ Because, between Salman and me, I was slightly better behaved; at least on the face of it. I was like, ‘I didn’t do anything. It’s all his (Salman) doing.’ We were two young kids, really troubling a father figure, to be honest.”
Shah Rukh Khan also revealed in the same interview that he was not aware of his role in Karan Arjun and could not understand the sketch of his character. He was more interested in being an action hero and had also asked Rakesh to give him the role that was offered to Ajay. It was later essayed by Salman Khan. Although later SRK trusted Rakesh's vision after Salman came on board, both the megastars played their roles effortlessly in Karan Arjun. The film was re-released in the theatres in 2024 as the hit movie had completed 30 years, and fans were again left enchanted with the chemistry between SRK and Salman.
