Celluloid is Karan’s First Love

Dharma Productions has been the modern face of Indian film industry since three and half decades now!! Karan Johar, the owner of Dharma Productions, has proved himself as a deserving successor to his father. His first directorial venture, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, was a global hit and since then, there has been no looking back for Karan. He has worked with some brilliant set of directors and he himself has produced as well as directed some fantabulous movies!! He even tried his hands on the Indian small screen, where he anchored his own Bollywood chat show, which is a huge success. With his persona and witty conversational skills, the show took off on an extremely high note, giving him a completely different stature.

When asked to him, what forms as his first love, he replies, cinema to be his first love without a doubt!! He feels that he was born for making cinema and it gives him a larger than life feeling. He says, television happened to him because of his huge contacts and celluloid success and he even talks a lot, hence, he thought why not get paid for that!! Now, that is a modest man with a modest thought and of course... we always get a modest and honest answer from Mr. Karan Johar!!

Abhishek & Karan all excited and ready for Dostana 2

Kunal & Sam, from Dostana, made the Bollywood box office go mad with an unusual comic humor. Karan Johar, the producer of the film & the owner of Dharma Productions, shot the entire movie in Miami!! The color, background, cast, story and the entire location was loved and enjoyed by the viewers across the world.

A sequel to such a brilliant story line and cast is now reckoning!! AbhishekBachchan, himself, is all pepped up about it and wants Karan to start looking into the second part of Dostana!! He even tweeted asking Karan to make Dostana 2 first!! Karan replied saying, that it is a ‘MUST’ and he is all set for the making!! Considering both, the actor and the director's keenness for the second part of the movie, Tarun Mansukhani, the director of the first part should be equally excited!! Seems like another madness and craziness in the making... :)

Hrithik Roshan & Karan Johar en route to becoming Best Friends

Dharma Productions has given us some brilliant movies in the past few decades... some of which have been directed by the ace Karan Johar and some by other extremely talented new directors. Dharma is known for encouraging young many young, talented and fresh directors to make the film they believe in. Karan Malhotra, who was the associate director on My Name Is Khan, is praised to no end by his mentor Karan Johar and is directing the upcoming remake version of Mukul Anand's Agneepath.

It was the director's birthday on 24th July, when the entire team celebrated this day with him on the sets of Agneepath. Bollywood, as we all know, is known for it’s uniqueness for every celebration, team Agneepath did not fall short on it's reputation too! They are a team of people who are said to take work & fun seriously. The entire team gave him a very special surprise by getting a special cake baked for their director, Karan, with his picture on it!!

And the team Agneepath quickly followed the birthday fun rituals and got back to working again. A very sweet gesture by an extremely hard working team!! :)

Hrithik turns Santa in July

It seems Hrithik is already in the Christmas mood!! Compared to the other B-Towners, Hrithik is more giving and generous in nature. The assistant director of Agneepath lost her iPhone on the sets of the film in Diu and when asked, a source from the sets recalls it to have happened about 10 days ago. The young and extremely talented Director Karan Malhotra's assistant director Bharati Kandhari was extremely saddened after loosing her phone while being on the sets of the shoot. A huge part of the unit as well as the locals from the area had come to watch the shoot. In this entire chaos, the phone might have got stolen, says a source. Everyone on the sets, including Hrithik had noticed the fact that Bharati was feeling extremely sad after loosing her phone.

Over the weekend Hrithik had to fly down to Mumbai for the shoot of his dance reality show which he is judging. That is when he had ordered for the same phone that she had lost in the shoot!! By then Bharti was recovering from the sad feeling of loosing her handset. On Hrithik's return to the sets of Agneepath, he casually asked her to look for the phone in some particular place where she could have misplaced it. When she arrived there, what she finds is the same phone but it was brand new and gift wrapped, all for her!! Adding to this generosity, the actor even got cartons of chocolates for the entire unit of Agneepath. Now that is one Dildaar Superstar!!!! ;)

Hrithik’s stunning Agneepath look

With the first look of Agneepath out, Hrithik Roshan, who is trying to recreate the magic of Amitabh Bachchan's iconic character, Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, has stunned everyone with his muscle display. According to Hrithik’s trainer, Satyajit Chaurasia, Hrithik was required to have a mature look in the movie which would compliment Sanjay Dutt’s looks.

It took six months for Hrithik to get the desired look for the movie. Two body parts were worked upon everyday to get muscle sharpness so as to add to the “Wow” factor. Hrithik was on a no-sugar, low-salt and oil, high-protein (one chicken and 15 egg whites every day) diet.

The movie directed by debutant director, Karan Malhotra, is almost complete and 30 days of shooting are left for the last schedule that will begin at the end of July, or the beginning of August.

Anurag Kashyap’s take on Karan Johar

Recently we met with ace director, Anurag Kashyap, who has recently taken a liking to Karan Johar. In what could be an interesting friendship, Anurag Kashyap talks about his experiences with his best friend.
On being asked about Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap replied that Karan was his biggest discovery till date.

According to him, Karan Johar’s sense of humor is wicked and original, and that it’s hilarious even if he makes fun of you right in front of you. Furthermore, he said that Karan Johar’s one of the most intelligent and perceptive people in the industry and that nothing skips his eye.

However, while making his movies, Anurag Kashyap stated that Karan Johar becomes a different person and that he’s like a businessman making important decisions. The director praised him for giving the youth an opportunity to direct and said that it was fantastic on his part to do so.

On an ending note, Anurag Kashyap would love to see Karan Johar make a funny, sarcastic, social comedy as he has that originality that many people in the industry lack and Karan definitely has!
