New Delhi:
Salman Khan and Bhagyashree’s 1989 film Maine Pyar Kiya is all set to be re-released in theatres on its 35th anniversary on August 23. Ahead of the iconic film’s theatrical release, Bhagyashree told News18 that she is “beyond thrilled” with the anticipation of how the film will impact today’s generation. She said, “To think that a new generation will experience the magic of Maine Pyar Kiya on screen is simply amazing! It’s a timeless love story and to have it connect with young hearts today is like watching the film come alive all over again. I look forward to seeing how Gen Z resonates with the pure and simple romance that we portrayed.”
Recalling the buzz surrounding the film when it was released, she commented: “It was life-changing for me in every way. Personally, it made me a household name and professionally, it opened doors I never imagined. But more than that, the film gave me an emotional connection with audiences that is still alive today. It’s rare for an actor to have that and I feel truly blessed.”
She continued: “I think some stories are timeless and Maine Pyar Kiya is one of them. However, there is also something sacred about the original. It represents an era and a type of love story that is unique to that time. While it would be exciting to see what a modern version would look like, I personally feel that the magic of the original should remain untouched. Some classics are better left as they are.”
Maine Pyar Kiya marked Bhagyashree’s debut film in Bollywood.
