Karan Johar was trying not to face Salman Khan, that’s why in Chunky Pandey’s party, he was in every possible way to Salman Khan Stay away from as much as possible.
All this struggle had a background. Karan Johar whose father Yash Johar was a filmmaker, now Karan Johar decided to take two steps ahead of him and enter into directing instead of filmmaking.
Karan Johar’s courage Shahrukh Khan And Kajol added more because when Karan expressed his wish during the shooting of the film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, it was Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol who insisted that he must try his luck in this field.
From 1995, Karan Johar started writing the story and then cast Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol as the hero and heroine.
It was Shah Rukh and Kajol’s fourth film together after ‘Baazigar,’ ‘Karan Arjun’ and ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’.
Karan, who had been with Yash Chopra for a long time, was so impressed by him that he kept the romantic story of the film while giving special attention to the music.
But she had to dance the triple dance for Tina’s role in the film. First Twinkle Khanna refused, then everyone including Tabu, Aishwarya Rai, Urmila, Shilpa Shetty, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor apologized, then the role went to Rani Mukerji.
Rani needed a film with superstars like Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan at the time, her career could turn around when she happily accepted the role.
Karan thought it was done, but little did he know that another role, Aman Varma, which was of a short nature, would become a headache for him.
Salman’s sister Alveera Khan was his friend and when she told her problem in a meeting, she asked how many days work?
Kiran’s answer was that 15 to 16 days. Alveera thinks something and says don’t worry, Salman will play this role.
Karan was lucky that Salman also came at the same time. When the story was told, especially Salman’s role, he thought for a few moments and said that he would definitely play the role.
Karan breathed a sigh of relief but the next moment Salman fired another blast. He demanded so much compensation that Kiran lost his senses.
They just sit in silence while Salman walks away saying that if it is approved then let me know, he will be ready.
Karan thought that in the first film, if he would pay Salman as much as he asked for, then his budget would be exhausted.
That’s why instead of making Salman a part of ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, they started looking for other actors.
He reached out to Saif Ali Khan but he excused himself saying that at this point in his career he could not risk himself by doing a brief cameo.
Disappointed, Karan also spoke to Ajay Devgn but he refused. It was known that Chandrachur Singh, the hero of the film ‘Machus’, refused for this role.
Now the difficulty was that Salman, who was at the peak of his career at that time, was ready to act in the film but Karan was unable to pay him the required remuneration.
Meanwhile, when Karan arrived at Chunky Pandey’s party, he was deliberately avoiding Salman, who was a part of the party.
As soon as Karan turned around after taking the drink, Salman was standing in front of him. Who wasted no time in discovering whether Karan had found their hero or not?

The director’s reply was that not at the moment, to which Salman said in a mocking tone that he has heard that he is out ‘hero shopping’ these days. Saif also refused, even Chandra Chor Singh. What will you do now?
Karan was staring, then Salman said that he liked the story of the film and would definitely like to be a part of it. As far as the remaining compensation is concerned, whoever Karan Johar will decide, he is ready to give his services for this compensation.
Karan could not believe his ears. Salman smiled and said that don’t worry, I will send the script.

Kiran did so, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart.
Yes, it made sure that when they sent Salman to sign the contract, it contained the compensation that was closer to Salman’s demand.
Salman completed his two weeks of work with full energy and passion, after which Karan is now putting the finishing touches on ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’.
When Karan’s musical romantic film released on 16 October 1998, its music duo Jatin Lalit’s songs, story and Karan Johar’s direction created a sensation.
The film was a house full in every cinema creating new records not only in India but worldwide.
Along with Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukherjee, Salman’s brief cameo also received exceptional acclaim. The film gave Karan a new identity as a director.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai won the highest number of 18 nominations at the Filmfare Awards the following year. The film was successful in eight of them.
Interestingly, these include Salman Khan’s Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor, the second award of his career so far.
He got his first Filmfare Award for ‘Maine Pyaar Kya’.
Critics said that Salman Khan showed such color in a short role that he was overshadowed.
On the other hand, Karan became more of a fan of Salman and he felt that he did not make a loss by casting Salman Khan.
