Legendary love stories do not inspire Karan Johar

Filmmaker Karan Johar,who has mostly made romantic films,says that legendary or historic love stories do not inspire him.

When asked if he would act and make a movie based on legendary love stories like Heer-Ranjha or Romeo-Juliet,Karan said,”I can’t act. Legendary love stories like Romeo Juliet and Laila-Majnu is something that everyone wants to make. I don’t think history inspires me.”

Karan was speaking at the promotional event of Bela Sehgal’s upcoming film,”Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi”.

The leading actors of the movie,Boman Irani and Farah Khan,were dressed up like Rahul and Anjali,the two famous on screen characters played by Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol respectively in Karan’s debut film,”Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”.

“I must say both Boman and Farah have truly justified their look as Rahul and Anjali. Boman is a fantastic actor and getting Farah to act in the film was a great idea. I think no one except Farah could have played Shirin in this film,” he said.

Elated with the response from Karan,Farah asked him if he intends to make a sequel of “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”,to which he replied,”I think the sequel will be better than the first part.”

“Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi”,produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and directed by his sister Bela,releases on August 24.
