<p>It has been a week since Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol publicly buried an old feud as they posed together during the<em> Gadar </em>success party. Deol opened up about the infamous fight while speaking to India TV and said that whatever happened between him and Shah Rukh Khan was 'childish' and added that things were fine between them now.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Khan and Deol worked together in Yash Chopra's <em>Darr</em>. The film had SRK playing an antagonist while Deol played the lead, paired opposite Juhi Chawla. The film catapulted Khan to the big league. While Khan got critical praise and love from the audience for his performance, Deol felt he did not get what he was promised by the director. Deol then vowed not to work with Khan or YRF ever in life.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Darr came out in 1993 and thirty years on, Deol seems to have moved on.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Reminded that Shah Rukh Khan has also praised his latest film <em>Gadar 2,</em> Sunny Deol told the news channel, “Definitely, definitely. <em>Woh zamana </em>(those days) when it happened, that was a different time. I say 'People, forget what happened in those days'. One understands such things should not have happened. It was '<em>bachpana'</em> (childish), definitely. After that, Shah Rukh and I met several times and spoke to each other about many things. We also talked about some movies. This time, he was watching my film with his entire family. And he called me up. Toh sab cheezen bahut badhiya hai.<em> Sab kuch bahut badhiya</em> (everything is fine now).”</p>

<p><strong>Why did Sunny Deol get angry on the sets of <em>Darr</em>?</strong><br />
<br />
This is not the first time Deol has opened up on the incident from <em>Darr</em> sets. In a 2016 interview, Deol said that he had quite a few arguments about the rationality of the scene in which Khan's character stabs him.<br />
<br />
"What kind of a trained and senior commando would I be if he can stab me just like that, while I watch him? He may do so when I am not looking at him, but how is this possible?"&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Deol had also confirmed reports that SRK and he were not on talking terms for 16 long years. But the actor stated that was mainly because he is not into socialising and attending industry parties.</p>

<p><strong>Sunny Deol had vowed to never work with Yash Chopra again</strong><br />
<br />
In a 2001 interview with Filmfare, Sunny had termed working in <em>Darr</em>&nbsp;a 'mistake' in his career and would avoid it if given another chance. He recalled how working on the film was the worst experience of his life and he was so sick of the "lies and manipulations" that he had even ripped the pockets of his jeans when he stuffed his hands into the pockets. He added that he would never work with Yash Chopra again.</p>

<p>Deol's <em>Gadar 2</em> has earned over Rs 5 billion at the box office and is the second-highest-grossing Indian film of the year after SRK's <em>Pathaan</em>.&nbsp;</p>

Netflix to celebrate Yash Chopra’s legacy through series The Romantics

<p>One of Bollywood's most iconic films 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' turned 25 on Tuesday. Directed by Aditya Chopra, the film made everyone fall in love with Raj and Simran 25 years back. So it was befitting for superstar Shah Rukh Khan to change his Twitter profile name to Raj Malhotra in order to mark the special day.<br />
<br />
The 54-year-old star has also changed his profile picture to Raj from DDLJ.<br />
<br />
In the profile picture, SRK is seen sporting the iconic black leather jacket, with a brown shirt and a black hat adorned with feathers, as he smilingly poses for the lens.<br />
<br />
Reminiscing about the DDLJ shooting days, Shah Rukh Khan got nostalgic and posted -- a special clip both on his Instagram and Twitter profiles -- some memorable glimpses from the classic hit.<br />
<br />
SRK noted, "25 years!!! Filled with gratitude towards you for loving Raj &amp; Simran, with all your heart. This always feels special. #DDLJ25@yrf."</p>

One of Bollywood's most iconic films 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' turned 25 on Tuesday. Directed by Aditya Chopra, the film made everyone fall in love with Raj and Simran 25 years back.

One of Bollywood's most iconic films 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' turned 25 on Tuesday. Directed by Aditya Chopra, the film made everyone fall in love with Raj and Simran 25 years back. So it was befitting for superstar Shah Rukh Khan to change his Twitter profile name to Raj Malhotra in order to mark the special day. The 54-year-old star has also changed his profile picture to Raj from DDLJ. In the profile picture, SRK is seen sporting the iconic black leather jacket, with a brown shirt and a black hat adorned with feathers, as he smilingly poses for the lens. Reminiscing about the DDLJ shooting days, Shah Rukh Khan got nostalgic and posted -- a special clip both on his Instagram and Twitter profiles -- some memorable glimpses from the classic hit. SRK noted, "25 years!!! Filled with gratitude towards you for loving Raj & Simran, with all your heart. This always feels special. #DDLJ25@yrf." View this post on Instagram 25 years!!!

Remembering Yash Chopra: 5 masterpieces by the King of Romance

<p>For those who grew up in the 1990s, Yash Chopra's 'Darr' remains a cult classic. A film that catapulted Shah Rukh Khan to superstardom for playing a villain.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the film was a superhit during its time, with the filmmaker and its actors earning praises, it is also remembered by many for its infamous fight between its two leading men- Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The two actors had a major fallout on the sets of the film and Deol did not talk to Khan for 16 years after that. When the actor-turned-politician was asked about his fallout during an interview to a news channel, Deol said, "It's not that I didn't talk but I just cut myself off and I anyway don't socialise much. So we never met, toh baat karne ki baat he nahi hai."</p>

<p>Recalling the reason behind their fight, Deol said, "I was doing a scene in the film where Shah Rukh stabs me. I had a heated discussion with Yash Chopra regarding that scene. I tried explaining that I am a commando officer in the film, my character is an expert, I am very fit, then how can this boy (Shah Rukh's character in the film) beat me easily. He can beat me if I can't see him. If he can stab me while I am looking at him, then I won't be called a commando."</p>

<p>When the 'Gadar' star was asked if Shah Rukh Khan and Yash Chopra were scared of him on sets of 'Darr', he said, "I guess, they must be scared because they were wrong."</p>

<p>Yash Chopra's 'Darr' had Sunny Deol playing the good guy and SRK playing the bad guy who is in love with Deol's girlfriend Kiran (Juhi Chawla). SRK's performance was loved by one and all and it even fetched him a Filmfare award that year.&nbsp;</p>
