Karan Johar Recreating Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Ranveer Singh and Ananya Panday
In a move that has taken Bollywood and cinephiles by surprise, Karan Johar is officially set to recreate his iconic 1998 blockbuster Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, a film that defined an entire generation of Hindi cinema. While remakes and reboots have become common, Johar’s decision to revisit one of his most beloved creations has ignited massive excitement — and curiosity — across the industry.
A Bold Casting Move: New-Age Stars Take Over Legendary Roles
Breaking away from the obvious choices and steering clear of top A-list superstars, Karan Johar has opted for a fresh, energetic, new-gen cast to reimagine the evergreen characters:
⭐ Ranveer Singh as Rahul
The charismatic and versatile Ranveer Singh has been selected to step into the shoes of Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic role, Rahul. Known for his unmatched screen presence and ability to reinvent himself with each film, Ranveer is expected to bring a modern, high-voltage charm to the character.
⭐ Ananya Panday as Tina
For the unforgettable role of Tina, originally played by Rani Mukerji, the makers have roped in Ananya Panday. Her youthful vibe, glamour, and rising popularity among Gen-Z audiences make her an interesting pick. Reports suggest that Karan Johar aims to reinterpret Tina as a more layered and independent character aligning with contemporary sensibilities.

Who Will Play Anjali?
While Ranveer and Ananya are confirmed, the mystery surrounding who will portray Anjali — a role immortalized by Kajol — continues to build anticipation. Inside sources hint that KJo is considering a name that will surprise the audience and continue the trend of bypassing major Bollywood divas for more unconventional choices.
A Modern-Day Emotional Rollercoaster
Unlike a frame-by-frame remake, Johar is reportedly planning a reimagined screenplay, retaining the heart of the story — friendship, love, and second chances — while adapting the narrative for 2020s youth culture. Expect stronger character arcs, contemporary relationships, updated dialogues, and a more grounded emotional texture. – Karan Johar Recreating Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Ranveer Singh and Ananya Panday
Music, Nostalgia & New Flavour
The original KKHH soundtrack remains iconic to this day. For the reboot, Dharma Productions is said to be collaborating with a top composer to recreate classic melodies while introducing fresh tracks that resonate with today’s audience. There’s buzz that a modern spin on “Koi Mil Gaya” or “Ladki Badi Anjaani Hai” may be in the works.
Why KJo Skipped Major Superstars
Industry insiders say Johar wanted the remake to stand on its own rather than be overshadowed by larger-than-life stars. Selecting Ranveer and Ananya allows for a youthful reinterpretation, giving the film space to breathe and connect with a new generation.
Production Timeline
The film is expected to go on floors early next year, with the makers targeting a festive 2026 release window. Pre-production is already underway, with costume trials, workshops, and revised scripts making rapid progress.
