Bollywood's Karan Johar(KJo), who last delivered the superhit film ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, is today celebrating the 18th anniversary of his special film ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’.
The director-producer-entrepreneur took to Instagram and shared a video featuring moments while making of the film.
The video immediately takes viewers back to the mid-2000s with the era-specific fashion.
The cast, like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, along with Preity Zinta, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan and Arjun Rampal are seen in the video.
Johar said in the video that making ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’ was only possible because each member of the cast was a friend and family.
He also penned a long note in the caption: “’KANK’ was the road that I need not have taken but it was the best decision I made to take it... till date! This film not only gave me the best of times with my absolutely phenomenal cast that honestly, were more my family, but it also gave me the courage to tell stories that I put my conviction into about relationships that were messy but beautiful... just like life? Here’s to 18 years of #KabhiAlvidaNaaKehna”.
‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’ was a passion project for Johar, and his first film as a director after his father Yash Johar’s demise.
Upon its release, the film failed at the box office as the Indian audience couldn’t connect with its themes of adultery and broken marriages.
The film was considered ahead of its time and featured great performances. The is also remembered for its timeless piece of music. The songs from the film trended on Instagram even 18 years after the album’s release. -IANS
