After one of Bollywood’s greatest blockbusters, Yash Raj Films’ Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge celebrated 1000 weeks, television channel Set Max has followed suit and has decided to organize a grand event to celebrate 16 years of the channel telecasting the 1999 Amitabh Bachchan starrer, Sooryavansham.

“DDLJ is an epic movie and is the first one that comes to mind when one thinks of an all-time great Bollywood blockbuster after Sholay. But ask anyone about Indian television’s biggest blockbuster movie and there can be one and only one answer – Sooryavansham,” a Sony Entertainment Television official told The UnReal Times. “Sooryavansham is a movie that deserves as big, if not a far bigger celebration than DDLJ. We’re trying our best to see to it that this grand celebration has a guest list that’s bigger than even that of the Aap Ki Adalat anniversary’s,” the official added.

Sources close to The Big B mentioned that his recent meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, pictures of which flooded social media, was mainly to invite him as a Chief Guest to the celebration. Times Now editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami has already confirmed his attendance for the event. “I don’t care about any other show at 9 pm during weekdays. I know that I can trounce them all. But if there’s Sooryavansham playing on Set Max at 9 pm, then I start worrying,” an overawed Goswami said.

Speculation is rife that Pakistan cricket legend and teen sensation Shahid Afridi too, may grace the celebration. “Tweet this also please: If ever there’s a movie that is as young as I am, it’s gotta be Sooryavansham,” Afridi tweeted.
