Back in 1998, Karan Johar and Salman Khan collaborated for the former’s directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. While Salman had an extended cameo in the film, fans are awaiting a full fledged collaboration of the duo. In a new interview Karan seemingly revealed that the duo are planning to come together for a project.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Karan shared, “I have the deepest respect for Salman and his entire family. My father was very close to Salim Saab (Salim Khan). The fact that Salman said yes to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai has never left my heart. All I can say at this moment is that the relationship will hopefully find celluloid space very soon. I am not confirming it, nor am I denying it as I am superstitious about certain things. I will speak about it when the time is right.”
Speaking of Salman Khan’s character in the film, Karan revealed that a lot of actors had said No to the part. “A lot of actors had said no for the part of Aman. And then, I met Salman at Chunky Panday’s party. He came to me and said, ‘Only an absolutely confident person will do this film, and I am that person.’ I went to narrate the film, and at the end of the first half he said ‘I am doing the film’. I was like, ‘But you come in the second half’, he went to say, ‘I don’t care, I know where it’s going. I really like your dad; I like your energy and am doing your film.’ I walked out and was like Salman Khan is doing the film. I told Adi that this film has got really big now as we already had Shah Rukh, Kajol, and Rani.”
Meanwhile, there’s a buzz that Salman Khan’s next project is being backed by Karan Johar. Salman who would next be seen in the role of a paramilitary officer, after Tiger 3, has signed a project with Vishnu Vardhan.
