Karan Johar: If I Was Called Karan KASHYAP People Would Consider Me A Serious Filmmaker

Karan Johar and Anurag Kashyap are thick of friends and this one’s not about any new disturbed equation between the two.

Karan has time and again been cheeky in his responses. Talking to a leading TV channel, the filmmaker opened up about a lot of things from his autobiography, An Unsuitable Boy.

During the interview, when asked about why audiences don't take him to be a serious filmmaker, KJo said, "If my name was Karan Kashyap maybe people would then take my films seriously." He said this in context that people generally take Anurag's film with so much seriousness. However, when Karan makes a serious film, like his short film on homosexuality in Bombay Talkies (2013), he doesn't get that much of appreciation from the audiences.

Karan also addressed the part where he is constantly asked about whether he is having a relationship with anyone or whether he is gay. Watch as KJo very calmly replies to the question saying, "I don't get as much sex as I should be getting." He says that he has to answer about his sexuality every other morning to either some reporter or, at times, even to his fans.

Moving on, Karan talks about the raging controversy last year about his film, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. If we recall, right before the release KJo put out a video asking people not to boycott his film just because there was a Pakistani actor (Fawad Khan) in it.

He clarifies that he never wanted to go on camera and prove to the nation as to how patriotic he was. "There was an imaginary gun to my head and I had to do it for the sake of so many people involved in the making of that movie," said KJo.

Karan concludes by saying that the book, An Unsuitable Boy, is not actually an autobiography, it's more of his life's account till 44. He even kept his fans hooked by saying there would definitely be a sequel and maybe that could be an autobiography.
