While watching a few videos of Yash Chopra on Youtube, I stumbled upon a video where Uday Chopra is in conversation with Yashji. The topic of discussion is Darr starring Shahrukh Khan, Sunny Deol and Juhi Chawla.
Towards the end of the video (5:18 mins), Uday reveals a little known fact about the film’s title and inspiration. Apparently, it was Hrithik Roshan who suggested the title ‘Darr’ to the Chopra’s.
In Uday’s words…
Hrithik and me were seeing a movie, a less known movie called Dead Calm (Starring Nicole Kidman). We saw the video of the film and we decided to make Adi (Aditya Chopra) see it. Just to show a very good film. Adi saw the film and he loved it instantly. That is the inspiration for Darr. Infact, the title Darr, is the title Hrithik had kept for a movie that he had actually made. An amateur film which he had shot. It was Hrithik’s title and when Adi decided on making this film, he told Hrithik that he will use this title, because it suits the subject.
Pretty interesting, isn’t it? Darr is one of Yash Chopra’s best films and was a major break-through in Shahrukh Khan’s career. How many of you were aware that ‘Dead Calm’ was the inspiration behind the classic and Hrithik’s amateur film was titled Darr?
Watch the video below (after 5:18)
now after yash chopra,aamir khan,salman khan,karan johar,amitabh bachan,rajnikant n aditya chopra even hrithik has a contribution in making srk star.srk has always depended on this peoples to survive in bollywood n these people also helped talentless srk.

Sunny still not getting over from the fact that how a new comer like SRK steals show under him & nobody can play the role as SRK playd the role was rejectd by amir and ajay.
Salman was superstar before two yrs also but in movis like Partner(Govinda)MSK(akki)KA(srk)AAA(amir)HSSH(mohnis) & dog performance in HAKHK were better then him and also Biggest Flop like Veer,MAMKhanna,Yuvraaj,LDreams,PMilege….oh i must hav forget some more names.
@zoro srk only give hits with big banner like yash and dharma and multistarrers.. ka(salman),kkhh(kajol), kgkh(amitab and hritick),DTPH(maduri and kharishma(national award)),devdas(aishwarya overshadowed him both in film and cannes) others are bcos of big banners and his other flops like maya memsab,bilu barber,ra.one,one 2ka four,chalte chalte,paheli,swades
some of the peoples will there in dark ABOUT SALMAN,hrithik & srk is no where near to salman khan not even he is near to EMRAAN HASHMI COMPARE TO EMRAAN HASHMI HRITHIK HAS GIVEN VERY LESS HITS IN HIS 13 YRS CAREER AND EMRAAN HASMIS EVRY SINGLE MOVIE IS A BLOCKBUSTER BLOCK BUSTER MEANS THREE TME BETTER THAN A HIT MOVIE I THINK U GOT IT NOW,as hrithik is not able to deliver a movie a blockbuster,last movie was also a hit, if hrihtik has to stand near SALMAN KHAN he has to give atleast 1 all time blockbsuter as salman khan having 6 all time blockbusters compare to any other actors in INDIA and with srk srk carree is on FULLSTOP.tak tak tak tak tak…srk ke career ko fullstop lagne wala hai JTHJ ke baad……..
