Kajol imagines Simran from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge after 27 years, says, ‘Magic of old films cannot be replicated’ | Hindi Movie News – Times of India

Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan immortalised the romance of Raj and Simran in their iconic film Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge27 years ago. Many people are still yearning for the kind of love Raj and Simran portrayed on the celluloid. While many iconic movies and their songs often get remade in today’s times, Kajol feels that the magic of older films cannot be replicated again.
When Kajol was asked to name her iconic characters which can be turned into a franchise or a spin-off, she told Pinkvilla that she believes the magic cannot happen again. She further explained that the iconic movies she has done so far were made in that time, with those people, and they cannot be replicated.
She thinks that every film has its own magic and chemistry, be it a good film or a bad film. She feels that when we go to replicate, we screw up. She said that those films belong to that age and time and if someone wants to do another version of it, it will not work with her.Suparn Verma, who has directed The Trial: Pyaar Kaanoon Dhokha, which is an Indian adaptation of the American legal drama series The Good Wife, also shared his point of view on the same.
He then shared that people evolve over time which means the characters would also evolve. Citing Simran’s character from DDLJ, he said that if it will be made today, Simran would be different today.
Adding to this, Kajol imagined Simran in today’s time and said that she’s gone with Raj, lived in London for 27 years and after that she will be kick-ass. “She’ll be like Bauji’s gone now, mom’s gone now. Because Bauji can’t be alive now, so Bauji to gaye (laughs). Bohot alag hogi Simran,” she said while Suparn added that she maybe divorced as well and Kajol nodded her head to the possibility.
