Much had been made about Karan Johar’s fall out with his
onetime blue eyed boy Imran Khan who had starred in three of his productions –
I Hate Love Stories, Ek Main Aur Ek Tu and Gori Tere Pyar Mein. After the disaster
of their last movie together, Karan is currently not doing any movie with
Imran.
But, the filmmaker rubbishing the rumors of a tiff between
him and Imran Khan and insists, “Imran and I are very close and I am very fond
of him. I am close friends with both Avantika and Imran. Imran has a close
association with my company. I will continue to work with Imran and I respect
him a lot.”
The filmmaker also dismisses his absence from Imran’s recent
baby shower as indication of their split. Karan points out, “Not too many
people from the fraternity were invited for the baby shower.”
But controversies seem to hound Karan these days and not
just on his gossipy TV show Koffee With Karan. His newest film Humpty Sharma Ki
Dulhaniya it is said is reminiscent of the 1990s classic Dilwale Dulhaniya Le
Jayenge. Karan declares, “DDLJ is the epic love story but Humpty … is not a
copy of that film. It’s a different film. I was the assistant director with
DDLJ. I have the best memories with this film.”
In the movie Alia will be seen playing a fan of Karan’s real
life friend and constant professional collaborator, Kareena Kapoor. Karan
gushes, “There is only one Kareena Kapoor and I am not only a huge fan of hers
on celluloid I also like her personally. I am very close to her.”
So far Karan is not too happy at the two actresses being
compared to each other. “Kareena and Alia are two different people. Kareena has
created tremendous niche for herself and set the bar so high that it’s unfair
to compare her with Alia,” he pronounces before prophesying, “Alia has her own
charm and I am sure Alia too will make her own space.”
