Karan Johar
turns marriage counsellor in New York
Mumbai—Post "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" (KANK), director Karan Johar has
found a new job to keep himself occupied - that of a marriage counsellor!
"I'm here in New York and doing a great job of advising Indian couples
on their marriages. 'Kabhi Alvida...' seems to have triggered off this
chain of doubts and revisions in the minds of many couples. And they
feel I'm in a position to advise them. Lucky me, poor them," said Johar,
who is holidaying in New York.
News is Johar has already started working on his next project. Without
going into too many details at the moment, it would be a film that would
again take him into the arena of mature human relationships.
"That's the only way to go," asserted Johar.
"I've tasted blood. And okay, not everyone loved my effort to probe the
cult of marriages. But the response has encouraged me to go beyond KANK
the next time. But for now I'm in New York for a richly deserved
holiday," Johar told IANS.
Not New York again! Didn't he shot KANK there?
"Yes, I did. But it's one thing to shoot a film in a city. It's another
thing to holiday in the same city. When you're on location, you can
never enjoy the place. I am finally getting to be in New York without
looking at every landscape for a potential shot."
In the second week of September, Johar will go to Canada to attend the
Toronto Film Festival where KANK will be screened under the title "Never
Say Goodbye" in the Gala Presentations section.
The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani
Mukerji and Preity Zinta.
"Amit-ji will also be joining me in Toronto from London (where he's
shooting for Balkrishnan's 'Cheeni Kam'). Should be loads of
fun."—Agencies |
