London Park to Unveil Statue of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol Next Year to Mark DDLJ’s 25th Anniversary

DDLJ released in 1995 and portrayed a love story between Raj (played by Shah Rukh Khan) and Simran (Kajol), two NRIs settled in London. The movie was also shot in the picturesque Switzerland. After the movie became a blockbuster hit in India, scenes from Switzerland helped in promoting tourism of the European country. Since then, Switzerland tourism has included places where the movie was shot in one of their tours known as the DDLJ tour for the tourists from India.

The DDLJ statue will be unveiled at Scenes in the Square statue trail which has some of the iconic British movie scenes depicted for the visitors who share their love for cinema.

The trail was launched in February 2020 and features the likes of Bugs Bunny, Mary Poppins, Mr Bean, Paddington, as well as DC Super Heroes like Batman and Wonder Woman. In an effort to appeal to a wide spectrum of audience, the creators have scenes from movies as old as 1920s. The public place is entirely free to visit, and also provides a guided audio tour set to help the visitors enjoy the installations even more.
