As Mohabbatein marks its 25th anniversary, fans are abuzz with speculation about a potential re-release of the cult classic. Actor Jimmy Sheirgill, who portrayed the love-struck Karan in the film, recently shared his perspective on the film’s enduring impact and addressed rumors of a re-release.
Sheirgill expressed gratitude for being part of the iconic ensemble cast, including Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai, and acknowledged how the movie remains a milestone in his career. Speaking to the media, he noted, “Mohabbatein was a game-changer, not just for me but for Bollywood, for how love stories were told.”
While fans are hopeful for a theatrical return of the Aditya Chopra-directed masterpiece, Sheirgill emphasized his preference for preserving its legacy untouched. “Certain films achieve a timeless quality. While a re-release might bring nostalgia, remakes or reimagining such classics might dilute their essence,” he said, adding that the industry should create new narratives instead of revisiting past successes.
