00:00Bollywood multi-hyphenate Karan Johar is over the moon with the re-release of his home production
00:06Kaal Ho Na Ho.
00:08On Sunday, the director-producer took to the Stories section of his Instagram and shared
00:14the poster of the movie as he expressed his gratitude to people's interest in the movie
00:19even after 21 years of its release.
00:23He wrote on the picture,
00:24So heartening to see full shows of our film 21 years later.
00:29Looking at people dancing and repeating dialogues of the film in cinemas is so gratifying.
00:35Kaal Ho Na Ho is celebrated as a milestone in Hindi cinema because of its urban approach
00:40of storytelling.
00:42The film was set in New York City and had an elegant urban upmarket styling and more
00:47importantly its path-breaking melody-driven music clubbed with Javed Akhtar's lyrics.
00:53The film can very well be called a timeless piece of cinema owing to its music, styling,
00:59narrative and the dynamics of the characters.
01:02Interestingly, Preity Zinta was not the first choice for the role of Naina.
01:06Karan, in fact, went with the film to Kareena Kapoor Khan who had then just delivered a
01:12massive flop in the form of Mujh Se Dosti Karoge which was directed by Kunal Kohli.
01:18As per Karan's book An Unsuitable Boy, Karan had specifically asked his father Yash Johar
01:24to stay out of the negotiation room so he could convince Kareena at a cost-effective
01:29budget.
01:30But, Kareena was demanding the same money as SRK as she felt Advani again being an assistant
01:36director making directorial debut rides with greater risk, similar to Kohli.
01:42Prior to this, Kejo and Kareena had worked together in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gaam.
01:47The discussion around money ended in a deadlock and Karan, hurt by Kareena's unreasonable
01:52demand, offered the film to Preity Zinta and the rest is history.
01:56However, Kejo and Kareena later buried their hatchets and are known to be the BFFs in the
02:01fraternity.
