To realise that the man dressed in casual jeans and denim jacket is the brain behind the extravagant, larger than life movies that we all love, is quite mind boggling. Karan Johar is a name that stands out in the Bollywood industry like no other. It’s not just about his on screen magic, but his offline presence - a personality that will most definitely bring a smile to your face. A celebrated director, an eloquent conversationalist and a marvelous storyteller, KJo shares with Ramesh Somani, his relationship with tech, his darkest fear and the movie he is most excited about!
This year has already been explosive for you, especially with the recent Lust Stories nomination at International Emmys. How do you feel?
It’s a fantastic feeling because it was a collective that we did purely for passion. Back when we did Bombay Talkies Dibakar, Zoya, Anurag and myself - we did it because it was an expression of what we wanted to create as an extension of our careers but also to put out something really solid - content wise, and something that we could go out of our comfort zone for. So, when we did Lust Stories it was that same feeling. The fact that you get validation from an international platform is a hugely exhilarating and proud feeling because it’s something that we love doing, we loved doing it with each other, we love doing it for Netflix and just the fact that it’s now at a nomination stage, it’s a great feeling.
