And not just Thailand, it was recently reported that DDLJ would be re-releasing in as many as 18 countries, including Germany, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, USA, UK, Canada, Mauritius, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, Estonia and Finland.
DDLJ was first released in India on October 20, 1995. As the movie completed 25 years of release last month, both its lead actors - SRK and Kajol changed their names on Twitter to their onscreen character's names - Raj and Simran. They also expressed gratitude toward fans. Other stars associated with the film, including Karan Johar and Anupam Kher also remembered the film.
SRK recently told Marie Claire that what worked for Raj and Simran onscreen was the friendship he and Kajol shared off-screen. "It was all so organic that there were moments in front of the camera that we didn't feel like we were acting at all."
