The lead pair Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon of the upcoming
film 'Raabta' paid tribute to the 1995 blockbuster 'Dilwale Dulhania
Le Jayenge' (DDLJ) by recreating one of its scenes featuring superstar
Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol at a railway station.
In Dinesh Vijan's 'Raabta', there's a scene where
Sushant and Kriti are at a railway station. On the day of the shoot, Kriti suggested
that they should re-enact the famous DDLJ train scene.
Kriti convinced the director Vijan. Kriti was shot running
in slow-motion as Sushant was aboard a train that started leaving the station.
What's interesting is that this optional shot that was done just for fun has
made it to the final cut of the film.
Kriti said in a statement: ''Raabta' being a young love
story and doing a little tribute to the most loved love story of Bollywood just
seemed so apt. We did it for our own mad enjoyment and I can't believe it has
made its way into the film.'
Vijan said it was an 'impromptu thing'.
'The scene needed to underline Kriti's character who is
dying to get one last glimpse of her lover who is leaving her. Looking back,
I'm glad we shot an option of the train pulling out and Kriti running alongside
it, DDLJ style. I guess it could be a humble little bow to one of our most epic
love stories,' he added.
'Raabta' is set to release on June 9.
