The buzz around Bollywood’s trend of re-releasing iconic films has now reached Mohabbatein, as fans anticipate its return to theaters for its 25th anniversary in 2025. Actor Jimmy Shergill, who played Karan in the 2000 romantic drama, hinted at the possibility, stating, “25 pe toh karni hi chahiye” (it should happen on the 25th anniversary) in a recent interview. He reflected on the film’s enduring legacy, noting how younger audiences still enjoy it on television, which speaks to its timeless appeal.
Directed by Aditya Chopra, Mohabbatein featured a star-studded ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The film blended romance with drama, centered around the clash between love and discipline at a prestigious college. Its music and memorable dialogues remain cherished by fans.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Shergill’s latest project, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, premiered on Netflix on November 29, 2024. The gripping thriller, directed by Neeraj Pandey and produced by Shital Bhatia, features Shergill as a relentless cop pursuing a diamond heist suspect, played by Avinash Tiwary. With Tamannaah Bhatia and Rajeev Mehta in pivotal roles, the film delves into themes of obsession and truth, culminating in a dramatic showdown.
As fans await official confirmation of Mohabbatein’s re-release, the nostalgia surrounding the film promises to keep the excitement alive.
The recently released TVC featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor in their iconic roles—Dr. Jug from Dear Zindagi, Safeena from Gully Boy, and Bunny from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani—has created waves for its nostalgic and comedic brilliance. In the ad, Safeena hilariously vents to Dr. Jug about her husband Bunny’s misinterpretation of her instructions, like trekking instead of fetching ice because “mountains were calling.” Bunny, staying true to his free-spirited persona, defends his wanderlust nature, with his iconic “Main udna chahta hoon…” moment. Dr. Jug steps in to mediate, offering his signature wisdom.
Fans have been thrilled by the creative mashup, praising the ad’s concept and execution. The nostalgic throwback to three memorable Bollywood characters has sparked calls for a full-fledged comedy film starring the trio. Social media buzzed with comments like, “Bunny & Safeena as husband and wife is hilarious!” and “This crossover needs to be a movie, take all my money!” The ad also highlighted the actors’ ability to channel their classic roles into fresh and humorous dynamics.
Dear Zindagi, Gully Boy, and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani remain iconic in Bollywood, and this playful crossover has reignited fans’ love for these characters. For now, the TVC offers a delightful dose of nostalgia and laughter while leaving audiences craving a bigger collaboration.
