Treating audiences to a dose of nostalgia, Salman Khan, Rakesh Roshan and other team members shared the film’s trailer today, on November 12. Notably, the trailer features a voiceover by Hrithik Roshan, grabbing everyone’s attention.
The 1-minute, 47-second long trailer sees actor Rakhee Gulzar in the iconic role of mother, waiting for the reincarnation of her sons Karan and Arjun, who were killed by evil Thakur Durjan Singh, played by legendary late actor Amrish Puri. The trailer opens with Hrithik’s narration of the story. “Kuch bandhan aise hote hain, jinke liye ek janam poora nahi hota. Kuch badle aise hote hain, jinke liye ek janam poora nahi hai. Kuch kahaaniya aisi hoti hain, jinke liye ek janam poora nahi hota. Aur kuch log aise hote hain jinke liye ek janam poora nahi hota,” he is heard saying in the trailer.
Posting the trailer, Salman Khan wrote on X, “World Wide Re-Release on 22nd November.”

Hrithik Roshan Posts Heartfelt Note
Taking to his Instagram handle, Hrithik Roshan also shared an anecdote from the days when his father Rakesh Roshan was laying the foundation for one of India’s most iconic films. “That afternoon in 1992 ( I think) when we were all sitting around dads living room with the writers brainstorming on the screenplay for KARAN ARJUN, after another long spell of silence in the room (sometimes these silences lasted more than 10-15 mins) and suddenly dad went “ek idea aaya“ and he went on to tell us how he saw the beats of the interval fight sequence, and as he talked, his emotions escalated and at the height of the crescendo in his mind he shouted “and then he screams भाग अर्जुन !!!! bhaaaaaag अर्जुन !!!,” he shared.
Hrithik was only 17-year-old at the time and could not help but become a fan of the story. “I was 17 when I experienced my first jolt of audience euphoria !!! My hair stood on ends, the room was applauding like in a movie theatre! And I was addicted from that day onwards!! And that’s also when I knew in my bones that this movie was going to be a BLOCKBUSTER,” he added.
“30 years later, I cannot wait to witness the reincarnation of Karan Arjun in theatres worldwide from November 22nd 2024,” Hrithik ended the note.
