In the aforesaid interview, Rakesh Roshan had said, “Every film might not work. But surely, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai is also going to complete 25 years in January (2025). This (Karan Arjun) was also in January, but I couldn't put the two films together so I pre-poned this release. And there are many films releasing in January”.

In the same interview, when Rakesh Roshan was asked whether Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan charge reasonably (for the film Karan Arjun), the filmmaker replied, “Yes. Then, there were relatively new and upcoming stars. Nevertheless, it was a big-budget film for me. It was mounted on a huge scale”.
