Kajol talks about the remake of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

In an interview with News 18, Kajol, who was recently seen in Salaam Venky, said that the remake of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge might leave disappointed and the comparisons would be inevitable. Reports suggested that Vijay Deverakonda will be seen in the remake of the film with producer Aditya Chopra. But they were rubbished by Yash Raj Films. Now, reacting to the same, She said, “My personal opinion is that I don’t think that films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge should be remade. I feel the same for K3G (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham). I feel that magic can only be created once. If you recreate it, it just fizzles out and it won’t have the same feel.”

She continued, “You’ll always be disappointed regardless of how well it is portrayed and done. Magic has a feel to it. Films give you that feel. You feel something when you watch them for the first time and nothing replicates that feeling.”

Meanwhile, Kajol recently appeared in Netflix’s docu-series, The Romantics along with 34 other celebrities who worked closely with Yash Chopra and YRF. The series celebrated Yash Chopra’s legacy and showed celebs discussing the history of Hindi cinema through the lens of YRF.
