Karan Johar has always maintained he will launch Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan in Bollywood but the filmmaker says he will wait for the youngster to finish his studies before making an entry into films.
Khan recently said that his 19-year-old son will have to graduate from college before pursuing a career in Bollywood, if that’s what he wants to do in the future.
“Aryan has to study now and after a few years he will decide if he wants to enter movies. I am his godparent and I will hope for the best,” Johar said.
When asked when is he planning to launch Khan’s youngest son, AbRam, Johar said: “AbRam? He is going to turn three in May. First I’ll launch Aryan and then we will see about AbRam.”
The filmmaker was speaking at the wrap up party of his upcoming co-production Baar Baar Dekho. The love story features Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra.
Johar said the movie, directed by debutant Nitya Mehra, is anything but a typical romantic-comedy.
“When you watch the film you’ll understand why the film is titled Baar Baar Dekho [Look Again and Again]. It is not a regular normal love story. Usually there is a term called ‘rom-com’... this film is definitely not that. It is very progressive, interesting. And one of the most unusual love stories you’ve ever seen,” he said.
When asked which actress he would want to see on screen baar baar (again and again), Johar, 43, said, “I would love to watch Sridevi baar baar. But she doesn’t do films often so I request her to do films again.”
