Recently, during an interview with ETimes, Rakesh Roshan was asked if there would be a modern reimagining of Karan Arjun. Rakesh instantly ruled out the possibilities of a sequel of Karan Arjun and even a remake.

He said, I won’t remake Karan Arjun or make a sequel but if I were to think of an alternate jodi (duo) for the movie today, I would cast Hrithik Roshan as Karan and Ranbir Kapoor as Arjun."

During the same interview, Rakesh revealed the reason why he chose Salman and SRK as his Karan Arjun.

"Salman’s physique was exceptionally good. None of the actors in those times had that built. He started that fit body trend. Also, I find his eyes arresting," Rakesh was quoted as saying.

Further, he added, "I wanted someone for Karan's role, jo chup chap rehta hai par uski aankhein bolta hai. He fit the bill. I had worked with Shah Rukh in King Uncle and liked him immensely in Fauji so I wanted him to be Arjun.”

Notably, Rakesh Roshan brought two superstars together for the first time on the big screen. While SRK was offered the role at first, he backed out as he wanted to switch the role with Ajay Devgn. After Rakesh approached Aamir and Salman, SRK returned and agreed to do the film.

Well, fans are eagerly waiting for Hrithik and Ranbir joining forces since many years. While several rumours have surfaced about projects uniting the duo, but, there have been no update yet. If the duo step up as Karan and Arjun in its reboot version, it would definitely be a treat to watch. Fans can just hope to see Hrithik and Ranbir together until any filmmaker announces the same.
