21 Years of Main Hoon Na: Zayed Khan says working in Shah Rukh Khan starrer was "masterclass in filmmaking"

As the iconic Bollywood film Main Hoon Na marks its 21st anniversary this month, fans across social media continue to celebrate its perfect blend of action, comedy, and emotion. While Shah Rukh Khan's Major Ram remains the film's heroic center, it was Zayed Khan's portrayal of the rebellious Lucky that captured audiences' hearts and launched his career in the industry. On the film approaching its 2-decade mark, Zayed reflected on how Main Hoon Na changed his life 360 degrees. "Looking back at Main Hoon Na after 21 years feels surreal," Zayed said.

Zayed added, "Lucky was my breakthrough role, a character that changed everything for me. The way fans still come up to me and call me 'Lucky' or 'Laxman' or mimic those classy lines, or even do my signature swag move, it's incredibly humbling. Working with Shah Rukh Sir and under Farah Khan's direction was a masterclass in filmmaking that shaped my entire career. Lucky's rebellious spirit, his transformation, and his iconic style, especially my look, with the long hair and highlights, baggy pants, vest and open shirts, everything became a large part of pop culture."

 

"Two decades later, I can honestly say that no matter what roles I take on, Lucky will always hold a special place in my heart. That film wasn't just my entry into Bollywood, it was my entry into the hearts of audiences. 21 years later, I'm still grateful for all the love and may it keep coming in leaps and bounds," the actor concluded.

 

Main Hoon Na's popularity has not diminished one bit, even thought the film is 21 years old, and the same is evident in its continued television reruns and streaming success, introducing new generations to the magic of Farah Khan's directorial debut. For Zayed Khan, his portrayal of Lucky remains one of his most recognized and beloved roles, thus proving that the right character at the right time can create a lasting legacy in Indian cinema, in this case, 'ever-lasting'!
