I’m jealous of filmmakers who are making movies: Karn Johar Says

Karan Johar’s last directorial Ae Dil Hai Mushkil resonated with the audience for its take on love and the stellar star cast. Fans have already started wishing for another KJo directorial and reports have been rife on what Karan’s next project will be.

When a leading daily asked Karan on what kind of a movie he sees himself directing next, the filmmaker revealed, “I actually think about that every day and I do not know the answer. I have never been more lost in my life on what I want to do next. Every day, I wake up with a different idea and I am like, ‘No, it is not exciting me’, I know the kind of film I can’t do. What I can do, I have not yet been able to tap into.”

He continued, “I am very restless. I am jealous of all filmmakers in my company who are making movies and I am not. The other day, Ayan (Mukerji) had a photoshoot and I went on the sets and I was like, ‘Shit, I really want to make a movie.’ I want to be a director again. Because producing movies is amazing and it is satisfying and it is great for the company, etc., but the pleasure you get out of directing a film on your own and putting out your narrative is another thing.”

On whether his next movie will delve into relationships like his previous movies and Karan replied, “Might not be. I might do something away from what is expected of me. I feel, one day I will make a film that no one is expecting me to make and everyone will actually applaud it.”
