Rohit Shetty's much anticipated film "Dilwale" went on floors on Saturday, 21 March. The big-budget film has superhit pair Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol along with Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon in lead roles.

Excited over the first-day shoot, the "Badlapur" actor along with Shetty and other crew members posed for a group selfie. However, the picture didn't have SRK and his leading lady Kajol.

Khan is expected to join the cast soon after he wraps up Maneesh Sharma's "Fan".

Initially, there were rumours that the film is a remake of classic Hindi film "Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi". However, the "Golmaal" series director clarified that it's not a remake.

"I am the same person who's doing the Ram Lakhan remake and I have announced it that way itself. Dilwale is not a remake at all. It's an original script. If it was a remake, why would I hide it when I didn't hide the same about Ram Lakhan?" Shetty told DNA.

Not just that, SRK also revealed that the script is original. "Sajid Farhad came to me with the script during Chennai Express itself. They had already planned this film and were also writing a sequel to Chennai Express. I asked them to choose. I told them, 'You guys decide which one you want to do first' because both the films are really funny films," SRK told the daily.

"Dilwale" is Shetty-SRK second outing, after a record-breaking success of "Chennai Express" that crossed ₹100 crore in just four days of its release.

Slated for release on 18 December 2015, the film will also bring back the hit Jodi of "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" to the silver screen.

With such great track records and huge star cast, "Dilwale" is expected to strike gold and rule the box office.
