To commemorate the 25 years, the bronze statue of actors Shahrukh Khan and Kajol will be unveiled at London’s Leicester Square. The statue will depict a part of the scene that was shot in Leicester Square.
Nine other equally iconic cinema giants like Harry Potter, Laurel and Hardy, Bugs Bunny, Mary Poppins, Mr. Bean, Paddington, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Gene Kelly in Singin’ in the Rain will accompany the bronze statue of SRK and Kajol.
Shahrukh Rukh Khan has renamed his Twitter Handle and has also shared a special video in the loving memory of DDLJ. Khan wrote, “25 years!!! Filled with gratitude towards you for loving Raj & Simran, with all your heart. This always feels special.”
This is indeed a proud moment for DDLJ and Indian Cinema that it is recognized outside India too.
