Karan Johar and Shahrukh khan’s collaborations in films have always been a massive hit at the box office. They have managed to weave magic together whenever they collaborate on a project. Karan’s work instincts are in perfect sync with Shahrukh’s and there is sheer art waiting to happen in every frame of their film together. They first came together for the iconic Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and the rest is history.
Karan Johar confirmed recently that he has a brand new script ready with him and now that he is back from his birthday break, he is all set to start working on it. While he spoke about his new project, he hinted that Shahrukh Khan might most probably be a part of it. This obviously is going to be his directorial. He also added that he had been waiting to work with King Khan again as it had been a while since the two came together for a project. Last two films he directed: Student Of The Year and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil did not have SRK barring for a special appearance in the Ranbir Kapoor starrer but now time has come for Karan Johar to cast him in a full -fledged role. He also added that SRK, whom he lovingly calls Bhai, is not a friend but family. Apart from the Zero star’s family, Karan also considers Aditya Chopra, his wife Rani Mukerji and parents Yash and Pamela Chopra as a part of his life.
Karan Johar is producing a lot of projects currently. Dharma Productions’ Kalank is under production currently. It has an impressive lineup of cast and we’re awaiting it with bated breath. Apart from this, he also has Dhadak featuring Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter which is all set to release in July.
