Quashing reports that ‘Dilwale Duhania Le Jayenge’ (DDLJ) will be removed from Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir in December after running for 19 years, its managing director Manoj Desai said that the news is "false".

The boy meets girl story narrated by Aditya Chopra into the magical ‘DDLJ’ worked wonders at the box office despite a predictable plotline.

The movie has been playing in Maratha Mandir since its release on Oct 20, 1995. In 2007, it broke the record set by ‘Sholay’ by a full seven years.

And the movie buffs with a taste for romance are still coming in, notwithstanding its many re-runs on the TV channels, online viewing facilities as well as many DVDs floating around.

"We are not planning to remove DDLJ show. It was a false report. In fact, this December DDLJ will be in its 1,000 week," told Desai.

A single screen theatre, Maratha Mandir runs other movies as well, but the matinee show has been booked for ‘DDLJ’.

"We have ‘DDLJ’ show daily at 11.30 a.m. and on weekdays there is 40 to 50 percent occupancy and on the weekend it runs houseful.

"Myself and Aditya Chopra will continue to show the film in Maratha Mandir as long as we want to," he added.

Though the story was insipid, its presentation and the chemistry between the lead pair - Shah Rukh and Kajol - struck the right chord with the audience and the film's music was like a icing on the cake.

During late night Monday, the 48-year-old tweeted a photograph in which his son is dressed in white and is seen playing
with toys. The doting dad is seen kissing the "littlest one".

“Eid Al Adha Mubarak to everyone. May all have the happiness that life has to offer. The littlest one wishes you too," Shah Rukh captioned the picture.

AbRam was born prematurely by several months. SRK also has two teenage children - son Aryan and daughter Suhana - with wife Gauri.
