Did you know Karan Johar had turned costume designer for Shah Rukh Khan in 'Veer Zaara'?

The film, which also features Manoj Bajpayee, Divya Dutta, and Anupam Kher in pivotal roles, is renowned for its soulful soundtrack with memorable songs like 'Main Yahaan Hoon', 'Aisa Des Hai Mera', 'Tere Liye', and 'Do Pal'.

Ace filmmaker Karan Johar has solidified his status as a prominent figure in Bollywood, known for directing and producing iconic films like 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' and 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'. However, KJo's talents extend beyond directing and producing; he has also dabbled in acting and costume designing. One notable example of his work as a costume designer is his collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan in several blockbuster movies.

Karan Johar took a nostalgic trip down the memory lane as he re-watched 'Veer Zaara', the 2004 romantic drama directed by Yash Chopra. The film, which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, and Rani Mukerji, remains one of Bollywood's most cherished love stories. Johar shared a screengrab of the film's credits on his Instagram story, expressing his excitement upon seeing his name listed as the costume designer for SRK. He fondly remembered Yash Chopra and felt thrilled to have been a part of such a significant project. In his post, Karan wrote, “Was watching #veerzaara and remembered Yash uncle so much…saw my credits as a designer for @iamsrk and felt so excited to be a credit in a Yash Chopra film. So many memories @manishmalhotra05.”

'Veer Zaara' is a story of Veer Pratap Singh (played by Shah Rukh Khan), an Indian Air Force officer, and Zaara Hayaat Khan (played by Preity Zinta), a Pakistani woman. Their cross-border love story faces numerous trials, including Veer's imprisonment for 22 years. The narrative unfolds with Human Rights Lawyer Saamiya Siddiqui (played by Rani Mukerji) fighting for Veer's release, leading to a heartwarming reunion with Zaara.

The film, which also features Manoj Bajpayee, Divya Dutta, and Anupam Kher in pivotal roles, is renowned for its soulful soundtrack with memorable songs like 'Main Yahaan Hoon', 'Aisa Des Hai Mera', 'Tere Liye', and 'Do Pal'. Even after nearly two decades, 'Veer Zaara' continues to be a fan favourite.

Karan Johar's diverse talents are evident in his contributions to the film industry. Apart from 'Veer Zaara', he designed costumes for SRK in other major films, including 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 'Duplicate', and 'Dil To Pagal Hai'. These collaborations not only highlight his versatility but also his close professional relationship with Shah Rukh Khan.

Karan Johar's latest directorial venture 'Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' featured Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. While fans eagerly await his next project, Johar has yet to announce his upcoming directorial.
