Karan Johar completely rejects nepotism: Said at Red Sea International Award – The one who is the best will get the job

At the 3rd Red Sea International Film Festival held in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Karan Johar admitted that there has never been any love story in his life, but he has told love stories to the audience in most of his films. To listen to him, a large number of Bollywood loving audience was present at Vox Cinema in Red Sea Mall, Jeddah, most of whom were Pakistani women, who had watched all Karan Johar's films. Karan Johar's films are very popular in Middle East countries.

Karan said- Kill is the most violent film in the history of Hindi cinema.
Karan said that he is the father of two twins and is raising them along with his 81-year-old mother. Regarding his new film 'Kill', he said that it is probably the most violent film in the history of Hindi cinema, which I am unable to muster the courage to watch together.

Don't watch it on an empty stomach otherwise you won't be able to eat after watching the movie. This film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this year and it is said that it was very much liked there.

Remember that Karan Johar has produced it with Guneet Monga and Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt is its director. In 'Kill', a gang of robbers attacks the Rajdhani Express train going from Ranchi to Delhi at midnight. Two commandos of the National Security Guards confront them. Then the orgy of violence that takes place in the entire train is not only horrifying but heartbreaking.

Karan Johar completely rejects nepotism
Karan Johar, while answering in Hindi on the question of nepotism in Hindi cinema, said that nothing can be a bigger lie than this. He said that for example, when he saw Alia Bhatt's audition in his film 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani', he found that she was the best for the role of Rani. It does not matter to him whose daughter (Mahesh Bhatt) she is and which family she comes from. He said that till now he has given opportunities in films to more than thirty people. It's a matter of luck that someone gets a chance and someone keeps waiting.

He said that there has been nepotism in Hollywood also. It came to India much later. Actually, at the time of casting in cinema, you only listen to your inner voice (instinct). First of all, you make a film on your faith and trust. Recalling his father Yash Johar, he said that he used to say that people need people. We should stop worrying about success or failure and try to connect people. I am doing it right here in the cinema.

The producer's time is spent in dealing with the ego of the actor and director.
Karan Johar, remembering his father Yash Johar, said that he was a film producer in the seventies. The most thankless job is that of a producer. Most of his time was spent in satisfying the ego of actors, directors and other people. He always said that failure does not matter to a person who works. Don't listen to the outside noise, listen to your inner voice.

I can only make Hindi films
On the question of making a film in Hollywood outside Mumbai, Karan Johar clearly said that it is not in his capacity. They can make films only in Hindi. He said that my heart resides in my country India. Hindi is my language. I can make films only in Hindi. I will go to the whole world with that. He said that when I made 'My Name is Khan' (2010), I traveled to Los Angeles. Many business meetings were held with Fox Star Studio but things did not work out.

There is not just dancing and singing in Indian films.
When asked what is the misconception around the world about Indian cinema, Karan said – The biggest misconception is that there is only dancing and singing in our films and the content is very less. This assumption is not correct. If you go into linguistic cinema, there is a plethora of content in Bengali, Malayalam, Marathi, Kannada and even Odia, Punjabi and Assamese cinema. We know how to tell stories.

Karan said that Raj Kapoor and Yash Chopra are his idols. He learned a lot from them. It is also true that today film production has completely changed. When I started twenty-five years ago it wasn't that complicated. Today new technology of camera and editing has come. There has been a digital revolution in cinema which has changed the magical experience of cinema.
