Karan Johar on the memories of his ear
Karan said, “I have a lot of emotional memories of ear. I remember it was 2002 when I came here with my father. He signed a deal and kissed Kushi Kabi Gum’s European rights sold for five thousand dollars.”
“I thought it was very low and asked my father about it. He said to me,” Look, we have to start somewhere. ” He was not later not to watch the cultural movement made with Bollywood films. ,
Karan also reminded Sanjay Leela Bhansali about attending the screening of Devdas in the same year.
“Aishwarya and Shah Rukh were on a red carpet. Aishwarya is really like the queen of Cannes. Every time we are here, Ash produces a large amount of media energy and enthusiasm.”
