Mumbai: This is one trophy that would surely take Shah Rukh Khan on a nostalgia trip. The actor will be presented with a special trophy in a few weeks when his biggest blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) completes an all-time record of running for 750 continuous weeks at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir. The theatre screens the movie every morning seven days a week.
A source says, "In March, DDLJ set a record of running for 700 weeks. The theatre wants to organise a lavish event to honour Shah Rukh Khan but for that he will have to wait till the movie marches into its 750th week. The theatre authorities also want Yash Chopra to be present as the chief guest for this event as he was the producer of the film."
Shah Rukh Khan was delighted to hear this news and said, "I will definitely be there to receive this honour."
DDLJ, also starring Kajol, premiered on October 19, 1995 and released nationwide a day later. It went on to earn over Rs 58 crore in India and Rs 17.5 crore worldwide in that year to become the biggest grossing film. It became the biggest blockbuster of Bollywood, a record which was broken by Ghajini recently.
