To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), one of Indian cinema’s most iconic love stories, the King of Indian cinema Shah Rukh Khan has unveiled a brand-new bronze statue — now part of the Scenes in the Square trail in London’s Leicester Square.

First-ever Indian Film statue joins Leicester Square’s iconic trail
