When two powerhouse filmmakers come together, expect fireworks. Or maybe a delicious soup! This is what has happened as filmmakers Gauri Shinde and Karan Johar came together for the shoot of a soup brand. However, the only difference was that this time, Karan decided to come in front of the camera. He has been directed by acclaimed filmmaker Gauri Shinde and the advertisement is all things fun and has been lauded for portraying a same-sex love story in a commercial.
In the commercial, Karan Johar is seen waking up in the middle of the night when the doorbell rings. However, he is clearly smitten by a handsome man who turns up for help at his doorstep. Talking about directing Karan, Gauri says, “It was too much fun directing Karan. He is such a natural in front of the camera. We had many laughs doing it. The fact that he is expressing himself so well in the advertisement is really a treat to watch. He is great fit for this commercial” ALSO READ: Ahead Of Katy Perry's Music Concert, Karan Johar To Host A Grand Party For The Pop Singer: Reports
Director Gauri Shinde spoke to Mid-Day, and talked about the commercial starring Karan Johar. She said that they wanted the commercial to be light-hearted, and not a mockery of something that has had a stigma attached to it for so long. “We wanted to portray the same-sex love story or coming out of the closet in the most natural yet heartwarming way. We think it is an out-of-the-box idea in the advertising space,” she said.
