And the post mentioned ” IT ONLY GETS GRANDER WITH DOUBLE THE CELEBRATION!. We’re over the moon to see our captain, @karanjohar honored at the British Parliament in London TODAY for his contribution to the global entertainment industry- celebrating his 25th anniversary year.
He started as a director in the industry with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai which turned out to be a superhit of its time. Not only this, he introduced Rani Mukherji as Tina to the industry who turned out to be the big star of the nation. Before starting as a director he assisted Aditya Chopra for Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. We all know that most of his directed stories connect well with the audience. Hence he is one of the known faces from the Bollywood industry to produce high Budget blockbusters in a row and one after another.
For the unversed, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai marked the debut of the director himself. Also, he received 8 Filmfare Awards becoming the best grosser and the best film of the year. Since then the Producer has never looked back. Moreover, celebrities find themselves and those lucky who get the chance to work with this personality in their careers.
Karan Johar’s last directed narrative was Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. And it starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and especially Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in pivotal roles. Friendship versus Love emotions were the main grounds of this chapter. And Karan presented Aishwarya in a never seen bold avatar. It was a huge success and gained good critics in the Indian market of entertainment.
After Seven years break from directing, the so-called mafia of the Bollywood industry is back with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani. It is a comedy-based love story. Moreover, it promises to entertain the audience with full focus. Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh come as the leads playing titular characters in this drama. Apart from both Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi will also portray strong roles in the feature film. And Dharma Productions released the teaser of the flick on 20 June 2023. This also doubled the celebrations of the honour of their head. As per the plan, this fun-filled love story will hit the ticket window on 28 July 2023.
For the unversed, Karan Johar is one of the brilliant artists in the industry of Indian cinema. He not only directs but also writes, produces and has also acted in some movies. He has already produced around 50 movies in his 25 years long career. Moreover, he introduced many strong artists in the industry under his banner. And the best ones on the list include Rani Mukherji, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, and Siddharth Malhotra.
Apart from his contribution in movies of Hindi cinema, Karan Johar also hosts a celebrity chat show named Koffee with Karan. And this single show is known to spark major debates, catfights, and controversies in the market of Bollywood. He is quite known to question celebrities. And he does it in such a twisted way that they end up speaking their mind against someone. And he also counter-questions the targeted celebrities to comment on the same as well.
But after the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the queen of Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut blamed him on his own show for generating Nepotism in society. Moreover, she also called him the movie mafia which corners the outsiders and provides privileged services to the Starkids but not the artists who truly deserve to grow in the industry. Since then, every time a Starkid is launched, this Nepotism jumps back in trend.
Replying to the same, Karan Johar denied her blame stating that he also introduced outsiders like Siddharth Malhotra. Moreover, he added that he introduced almost 22 directors and among them, the majority were outsiders from the industry. But he gave them the needy chance to prove their skills and abilities.
At the end, Karan Johar is one of the bold investors in the entertainment industry who try to take this world of entertainment to a more competitive level. Today because of celebrities like him we are competing strongly in the international market. Even, the British association found his contributions worth appreciating. Hence they honoured him with a certificate on 20 June 2023 to celebrate his success and approach.
Now the director-producer is with more high hopes as this award has boosted his and his team’s confidence to continue their work in the world of entertainment. We, congratulate the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai director for the honour and recognition and wish him all the best for his upcoming project.
