Aditya Chopra, the director during the shoot of the film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ)

A quintessential and fairy tale love story, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), directed by Aditya Chopra paved the way for Indian Cinema in an unforgettable way and gave the world one of the most loved classics.

Aditya Chopra had to convince Shah Rukh Khan to be a part of the film. Shah Rukh Khan had aced an ‘action hero’ image by delivering back-to-back hits with Baazigar (1993) and Darr (1993) which made him apprehensive to give a nod for Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ). This film forever changed Shah Rukh Khan’s image to that of an ultimate romantic hero!
