Ace filmmaker Karan Johar and actor Anil Kapoor have teamed up together for the first time in the upcoming film 'Jug Jugg Jeeyo'.

Speaking at the launch, KJo revealed that Anil was the first friend he made in Bollywood. He also reflected back on his first B-Town starry party and recalled how Anil helped him and Aditya Chopra at the party where no one was talking to them.
While introducing the Mr. India actor on the stage, Karan stated Anil was a superstar at the time and he only hung out with him and Aditya at the party. The director said, “Undoubtedly my first friend in the business, and I mean that. Me and Aditya Chopra were at a party once and no one was talking to us. We were young and just excited to be at a film party, and then there was a superstar who walked toward us and only hung out with us.” ALSO READ: Karan Johar In LEGAL Trouble, Pakistani Singer Abrar Ul Haq Threatens To Go To Court Against The Filmmaker For Copying His Song In ‘Jug Jugg Jeeyo’

There is nobody, and I repeat nobody that can match the energy of this outstanding artist.” Notably, Karan and Anil hugged on the stage and shared their excitement about working together.
