00:00Five, four, three, two, one!

00:09I love this area of London. I love London.

00:14I think all of us do.

00:16And for me to, and the place that I used to come with my kids,

00:19or even when I was younger, maybe even before I had kids,

00:22was Piccadilly and Leicester Square and all the movie theatres.

00:27So I couldn't tell actually properly.

00:29I'd like to go back at night and see it quietly.

00:32But it's really nice to be part of a statue, especially with Kajwab,

00:36and especially for Dilwale Dulaniya Lejaayenge,

00:39on Leicester Square in front of another movie theatres,

00:42where we, I guess all of us have watched films and grown.

00:44And all of us have, we have had films screened there as well.

00:48Yeah, we've had film screenings, I've had popcorn, I've had ice cream there,

00:51I've hung around with the kids.

00:53It's a little unreal. It's a little unreal.

00:55It's a little like, it's so, you know,

00:59It's a little unbelievable.

01:00Yeah, it's a little unbelievable.

01:01I'm still not sure. I hope they keep it there.

01:03I'm like, they're going to take it away from me.

01:05Yeah, I have to, I have to click a picture with my kids in front of it, yeah.

01:08I think it's been 30 years and I think we're happy to say that

01:17it is the longest running film in, not in India, only in the world.

01:21And it's actually gone into the Guinness Book of World Records, etc.

01:24So, super kick to be part of it.

01:26I don't know whether we can take credit for it.

01:29We'd like to, I'm sure Shah Rukh will, but

01:32And rightly so. Let's not say no, but honestly, for Adi, for Mr. Yash Chopra, for Kajol, me,

01:41there were so many wonderful actors.

01:43We didn't realize the magnitude of this film.

01:46You know, that's the most beautiful part of it, because we really shot it like a holiday.

01:50We just kept doing it, the songs.

01:53All of it.

01:54In fact, we were discussing it, in fact, that when we hear the music, we're like, oh my God, what?

01:58It's like, oh my God, it had really good music.

02:01We had fabulous music.

02:02And yeah, when we played it on the bus, nobody complained.

02:06How about that?

02:07Nobody said they don't put off that music or anything like that.

02:10It's quite unbelievable, of course.

02:15I think very fortunate to have been part of a cinema like this.

02:19And absolutely and completely had no knowledge it would be like this.

02:24I don't think we planned for it at all.

02:26No, we definitely did not plan for this.

02:28No idea this would be this.

02:30To be honest, I think a fun trip of 30-40 days when we made this film.

02:34We made it very fast, especially in Switzerland and England.

02:37You know, just quite a freewheeling shooting, handhelds.

02:41And especially here in Leicester Square, you know, I remember we didn't even tell anyone.

02:45We were just doing one quick scene and getting away from it.

02:48So yes, I think it's a moment of pride for Indian cinema.

02:51And I think rightly so in England, which started off this trend of Indian films being recognized the world over now.

02:58I think so the beginning point is UK.

03:00I think that DDLJ has become a kind of a touchstone for Indians living abroad and for all Indians who come abroad really.

03:10It's become like a kind of a, you know, we have to go see that.

03:13I mean, that's the one thing and they see it and they recognize it and there's a familiarity and there's a pull towards it.

03:19So I'm hoping that, yeah, everyone feels that little bit touch of home when they see it.

03:28Here is everyone there.
