In a first for an Indian movie, a bronze statue of Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol striking a pose from their 1995 superhit Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge will be erected at the Leicester Square in London.

It will join the ‘Scenes in the Square’ movie trail in Leicester Square, the Heart of London Business Alliance announced on Wednesday. The statue from the film, commonly called DDLJ, will be unveiled in spring this year, months ahead of its 30th release anniversary on October 20. DDLJ marked the directorial debut of Aditya Chopra and was produced by his father Yash Chopra.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
