Shah Rukh Khan enjoys humongous fan base in Germany. Germany is one of the strongest markets for Shah Rukh Khan and Veer Zaara was one of the first films that made him break out in this non-traditional market for Hindi films back in the 2000s.
The film originally collected Rs 61 crore gross in India and Rs 37 crore overseas, earning a total of Rs 98 crore. Over the years, it has been re-released several times. The film reached at Rs 102.60 crore worldwide, surpassing the Rs 100 crore mark during its last re-release in September.
Helmed by Yash Chopra, and produced by Yash Raj, the film centres on an Indian soldier and a Pakistani woman who fall in love. The couple were torn apart due to unforeseen circumstances.
Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta’s chemistry on screen was fire that it left fans yearning to see the pair once again. Every time each speak of the other on their social media platforms, fans would barge in with questions and requests to see the pair on screen together again.
In addition to Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, Veer Zaara also features Rani Mukerjee, Divya Dutta, Kirron Kher, Boman Irani, Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini in major roles.
