Shah Rukh Khan’s mind is ‘like a maze’, Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘power’ can reduce a person to a blubbering mess: Karan Johar

In the same conversation, Karan said that he associates Amitabh with the word ‘power’. He said, “Mr Amitabh Bachchan has the power of his being, that when he enters a room, most people stand up. They don’t know why they are standing up.” He added, “He exudes an aura that is beyond your understanding of what energy or power is. He has that power to move you. You will be the most awkward version of yourself in front of him. I have heard people say and do all kind of strange things because they don’t know how to react. That is true power.”

In an earlier interview with Forbes, Karan Johar spoke about Shah Rukh Khan and said, “I don’t think there’s a better conversationalist, a more intelligent mind, a more charming and arresting persona, and an aura that is inexplicable than Shah Rukh Khan. That majestic magnetism only he has. He is irreplaceable.”

Karan Johar has worked with both Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchah in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. With Shah Rukh, he has also worked in the films Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Alvida Naa Khena, and My Name is Khan.
