Renowned filmmaker Yash Chopra's 2004 epic romantic drama, 'Veer-Zaara', featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, and Rani Mukerji in pivotal roles, continues to captivate audiences with its timeless love story.

He expressed his fond memories of Yash Chopra, the esteemed filmmaker, upon seeing his name alongside Chopra's in the credits. Johar's post featured a screenshot of the credits highlighting his role in designing Shah Rukh Khan's costumes, a moment that filled him with excitement and nostalgia.
