Karan Johar's wants SRK and Ranbir in next
Call it a coincidence, but there is always a 3 or 4-year gap between each of Karan Johar's films?Kuch Kuch Hota Hain? [1998], ?Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham? [2001], ?Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna? [2006] and now, his ambitious venture ?My Name Is Khan? opens this February, after almost four years since his last release hit the marquee.
"I can't churn out movies like a machine. But I do promise to start another film this year," Karan enlightens me. Reportedly, the supremely talented film-maker is keen to cast his favourite Shah Rukh Khan
and ?Wake Up Sid? actor Ranbir Kapoor in his next venture. True? "That's news to my ears. Right now, I am too much into ?My Name Is Khan? and can't think of anything else. The cast you mentioned is also untrue," he elucidates.
Karan also adds that he hasn't cast anyone in the ?Agneepath? remake yet. "A lot of people ask me why I am keen to remake ?Agneepath?. Let me explain. The film didn't work at the box-office when it opened almost two decades ago and my father, who was very vocal that ?Agneepath? was one of his finest films, always felt that the film never got its due. He would often prod me to remake ?Agneepath? some day, so here I am, fulfilling my father's wishes," Karan says.
The new ?Agneepath?, hence, will be a tribute to Karan's father.
