Shah Rukh Khan, who is basking in the success of Pathaan has more than just one reason to celebrate. Turns out, Pathaan isn't the only SRK film that is running in theatres this week. The makers of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge re-released the 1995 film in theaters for the Valentine's week. "Blockbusters of 2 eras - DDLJ and Pathaan are here! This Valentine's week, witness the grandness in cinemas near you," read a tweet shared by Yash Raj Films' Twitter handle, which has backed both DDLJ and Pathaan. SRK's reply to YRF's tweet was hilarious.
Shah Rukh Khan replied: "Arre yaar itni mushkil se action hero bana...and you guys are bringing back Raj...uff! This competition is killing me! I am going to see Pathaan... Raj toh ghar ka hai. ( Guys, I became an action hero after such difficulties and now you guys are bringing Raj back)."
