Karan Johar admits doubts over OK Jaanu decision; says, “I actually felt that, ‘Should this film be remade?’”

He had even made plans to pursue design studies in Paris. However, everything changed when Aditya Chopra stepped in. While working together on Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Aditya saw Karan’s potential and told him, “You’re meant for films.” As Karan now reflects, that moment not only altered the course of his own life but also reshaped the future of Dharma Productions. While speaking on the Jay Shetty Podcast about the power of intuition, Karan Johar said, “Instincts are our superpowers. And when we don’t listen to them, we’re failing that power.” Reflecting on Aditya Chopra’s early belief in him, he shared that following his instincts has remained a guiding force throughout his journey—particularly when it comes to identifying and nurturing new talent. Karan Johar said, “Every time I have met a person, my gut has told me whether they’re meant to do something big.” He spoke about trusting his instincts when backing filmmakers like Ayan Mukerji, Shakun Batra, and Shashank Khaitan—each...

Neeraj Ghaywan on 10 years of Masaan, “When I heard the foreign audience clapping, I just broke down and wept”

From the beginning, Neeraj Ghaywan was clear that he needed to connect with the grassroots through Masaan. “When we were shooting for Gangs Of Wasseypur in and around Varanasi, I was sure Varanasi was where I wanted to shoot my first film. This is the Indian heartland. I wanted to capture a side of the Holy City not seen before. We have for long imagined the city as being film with Sadhus smoking ganja at the ghats. I wanted to look at a city in transition caught between tradition and progress,” he said. He was lucky to get a perfect cast. “From the beginning it was supposed to be Richa Chadha. I worked with her when I assisted Anurag Kashyap on Gangs Of Wasseypur. I had also zeroed in on Manoj Bajpayee and Rajkummar Rao for two principal roles in Masaan. Their dates couldn’t be worked out. I signed Sanjay Mishra and Vicky Kaushal instead. They gave stellar performances.” Neeraj says acceptance internationally was immediate and unconditional. “I was a little afraid about how foreigne...

Actress Shilpa Shirodkar recently discussed her deep and evolving relationship with her sister, Namrata Shirodkar, and brother-in-law, Mahesh Babu. She emphasized that their bond, strengthened by time and shared experiences, has made them inseparable. In a candid conversation with Zoom, Shilpa opened up about her bond with Namrata, saying, “She’s obviously two years older than me, but conventionally, in my family, everything has happened the other way around. I started working first, I got married first, I had a child first, so everyone feels like she’s younger than me. But Namrata is my everything. I think I became closest to her after I got married, actually. And then, after my parents passed away, my equation with her completely changed. I became her child. She worries about me a lot. In fact, I think she worries more about me than she does about her own kids… and also about Anushka!” Shilpa Shirodkar reflected on how her relationship with Namrata has deepened over the years, evol...

Trade experts praise Saiyaara's lead actors, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, and discuss what lies next for them: "Woh jo launde ro rahe hai na theatre mein, woh apne aap ko Ahaan Panday mein dekh rahe hai; Aneet also left an impression… casting is perfect and it worked with the audience"

Saiyaara has become a rage and the same goes for its lead actors, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. This is Ahaan’s debut film, while Aneet has worked before; Saiyaara marks her first film as a lead actor. Where do they go from here, especially after their film has become the surprise monstrous blockbuster of the year? Trade experts shared their views. The experts agreed that both will have a huge advantage but at the same time, they need to choose their next films wisely. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, explained, “I think that there will be a general curiosity regarding Ahaan Panday. But I think this is a one-off phenomenon. The first film chose him and now he’ll choose his next film. Whatever film he does next, there will be comparisons done with Saiyaara and it’ll be difficult to live upto that expectations.” He also said, “I don’t see stardom like the Khans or Hrithik Roshan coming in today’s times for the new age actors. Today, the audience connects and c...
