co-star Shah Rukh Khan, nor director
Aditya Chopra or she can take credit for
the success of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le
Jayenge, one of the biggest blockbuster
of Indian cinema. Interacting with the
media to promote her forthcoming
release Helicopter Eela, the actress said
this on Thursday.
When asked whether remake of that film
was possible, Kajol said. "I think that film
cannot be remade. Even at that time we
never knew whether what we had made
was a good film or a bad one. I honestly
feel that we just worked in that film and
released it. But the phenomenon which
has been created around it was all
because the audience appreciated it and
took it to another level altogether.

She further added, "I have met people
who got married after watching that film
and they are passing on that film to their
next generation. So, none of us whether
it's Shah Rukh or Adi or Amrishji (Puri) or
me can take credit for the success of that
film.
In Helicopter Eela which is slated to
release on October 12, Kajol plays a
mother who constantly keeps a tab on
her child's life. When asked whether she
is likewise in real life, the actress said, "I
would say I am 50 percent of Eela in real
life. I agree that she is a bit over-the-top
character but she really loves and takes
care of her child. So in that sense, I am
definitely 50 percent Eela. Most mothers
around us pay extra attention to their
child like a helicopter constantly on
their head that's why we named the
film Helicopter Eela.
Based on a Gujarati play titled Beta,
Kaagdo by Anand Gandhi, the story of
Eela revolves around a single mother and
an aspiring singer and her relationship
with her son, played by the National
Award-winning actor Riddhi Sen.
The film is directed by Pradeep Sarkar,
written by Mitesh Shah and co-produced
by Ajay Devgn and Jayantilal Gada of Pen
India Ltd.
