Veteran comedian Johny Lever recently shared insights into his experience working alongside Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in the 1995 blockbuster film Karan Arjun, directed by Rakesh Roshan. He opened up about the dynamics on set and the contrasting work styles of the two leading actors.
During his recent conversation with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Johny reminisced about the camaraderie and the fun-filled atmosphere during the filming of Karan Arjun. He described Salman Khan as a laid-back individual, his relaxed demeanor and his tendency to remain somewhat aloof, often living in his own world. He praised Salman’s easygoing nature, stating that the actor doesn’t stress much and prefers a lighter approach to his work.
In contrast, Johny spoke highly of Shah Rukh Khan’s dedication and commitment to his craft. He revealed that SRK deeply immerses himself in his roles, delving into the details and discussing his characters thoroughly. He expressed his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan’s meticulous approach, which is pretty evident in his captivating entrances on screen.

“We used to have a lot of fun together, but Salman, he’s a laid-back guy, he doesn’t stress much, he’s somewhat aloof, living in his own world. On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan is deeply dedicated to his work. He delves into the details, discussing his roles thoroughly. So, with Salman, I might leave the conversation early, but with Shah Rukh Khan, I engage deeply. My role is my focus, I delve into it. Salman prefers a lighter approach, questioning why I delve so deeply. It’s just a matter of nature; Salman has his style, and Shah Rukh Khan has his. However, Shah Rukh Khan’s dedication to his craft shines through, and his meticulous approach is appreciated by many, especially evident in his captivating entrances,” Johny revealed in Hindi.

Karan Arjun continues to hold a special place in the hearts of fans.
