Shah Rukh who had come to unveil the third poster of "Shirin Farhad..." told reporters that no one could recreate the magic of his most iconic romantic film of all time, "DDLJ".

"I think love can happen at any age...it has no age. There is no right time and right place for love...it can happen any time," Shah Rukh said.

"We have seen love stories made with young teenagers but this one is different. I have seen the posters and promo of this film and I really loved it. It is a marvellous love story. I am sure this film will rock. I am sure people will connect with this film," he added.
