Kal Ho Naa Ho Set To Paint Town Red Again As Karan Johar Re Releases Film After 21 Years

This weekend marks the re-release of Kal Ho Naa Ho, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, and Saif Ali Khan. After 21 years, Dharma Productions has stated that the movie would be re-released. The announcement was posted on social media by the producing company.

“‘Laal ab sabke dil ka haal hai’, hone wala ab kamaal hai! #KalHoNaaHo re-releasing in cinemas on 15th November at @PicturesPVR!” they captioned the post. The film was produced and written by Karan Johar and Nikhil Advani had directed the movie.

On November 28, 2003, Kal Ho Naa Ho was released, and it was a huge hit. On the film’s 20th anniversary last year, Karan recalled that it was the final project his father, Yash Johar, worked on before passing away.

“This film has been such an emotional journey for me and perhaps for all of us, if I have gathered over the many years. To bring such a stellar starcast together with a story that has a beating heart…it’s all kudos to the entire cast and team behind the camera for making Kal Ho Naa Ho still beat strong and within everyone’s hearts. For me, this was the last film that my father was a part of from the Dharma family…and it feels surreal to have his presence in every frame as I rewatch it even till today. Thank you papa, for guiding us through everything & making stories that matter…and for always standing by what is right. I will always miss you,” Karan said last year.

“And thank you Nikkhil for making a directorial debut that is etched forever in all our collective hearts!” he added at the time.

While Shah Rukh and Saif were always the lead of the film, Karan originally wanted to cast Kareena Kapoor in Naina’s role but it later went to Preity.
