Karan Johar talks about acting, Shuddhi and working with S.S. Rajamouli

Producer-director Karan Johar has said that he isn’t ‘stupid’ to cast himself in his films. Johar made his acting debut (full-fledged role) in Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Bombay Velvet’.

“I can’t cast myself, I’m not that stupid. Not even one person has offered me a role. I’m waiting eagerly for some offer, at least a poor offer which I can refuse” Johar told reporters during the launch of a song from ‘Baahubali’.

The director, jokingly, also added that he tried to do his best, but no one wants to see him act on screen.

“I tried my best but I think nobody wants to see me act on screen.” Karan told reporters.

He also spoke about ‘Shuddhi’ making history, even before going on floors.

“Shuddhi has crossed the making time of ‘Bahubali’ already. That film has been in the making even before it has been made. Shuddhi has created history before it has even gone on-floors.”

On being asked if he would produce a film directed by S.S Rajamouli, Johar said “I would love to make a film with Rajamouli again. And I am always ready to collaborate with him.”

  • Akshays Movies are Most Watched, no just in India but across the globe : Stardust

    Woohh
    It’s proven
    Akshay iz biggest & most popular superstar of Indian cinema ..!

  • I am sure Baahubali would be a landmark movie in Indian cinema.But Kjo has made a sensible decision to kick Bhai out of the project since the role demanded an actor who could act

  • shuddhi made so much news and became talk of the town after HRITHIK ROSHAN AND KAREENA KAPOOR casted for that and also for trio HRITHIK ROSHAN-KARAN MALHOTRA-KARAN JOHAR backing after blockbuster “AGNEEPATH”

    AFTER HRITHIK WALK OUT OF THIS PROJECT AND IT WENT TO SALMAN FOR SOMETIME THEN FINALLY WENT TO VARUN

    AFTER HRITHIK , SHUDDHI GONE DOWN AND AGAIN GONE DOWN AFTER SALMAN WALK OUT ,

    NOT SHUDDHI IS NOT AS POPULAR OR BIG AS IT WAS BEFORE

    SO KARAN IS EITHER JOKING OR PROMOTING HIS POOR SHUDDHI BY CONSIDERING SHUDDHI AS POPULARE FILM

    ONCE UPON A TIME , SHUDDHI WAS BIGGEST FILM OR POPULARE FILM BUT NOT NOW

    SHUDDHI IS A JUST NEXT FILM BUT POPULARE -NOT AT ALL

    SORRY KARAN, NO ONE WAITING FOR SHUDDHI

    INSTEAD PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR

    MOHENJO DARO

  • I like the nature of Karan Johar . I am really happy that Karan has backed a project like Baahubali . I loved the trailer of Baahubali and it is looking like a epic movie . It is the most expensive movie in India . A honest suggestion from me to Karan please back more movies like Agneepath, Brothers and Baahubali . Please reduce your support towards Rom Coms . I have no problem with Rom Coms but sometimes it gets too repetitive .

  • Yes Karan no want to see you act on screens, that’s true. I read an interview of karan where Karan said the Bombay Velvet failure is being celebrate like never before in Bollywood, he said many wants that this film fail badly and it happen. I have to agree that BV was unnecessarily target since last year and negativity keep increasing day by day.
    I hope Shuddhi will be a successful film as my most fav young actor Varun is there, though chances are less because that film also have the same negativity as BV had.

  • karan behave in apropriate some time…. but he is gud guy…
    hav great sense of humar n business sense too…he lives great life..

  • @ challa what’s ur problem u can say that srk is king of Bollywood then why we can’t say Akki is king of Bollywood .

  • @Akki But Srk is a far bigger star than Akki.How many ATBBs has Akshay given to be called the biggest star.He’s a superstar but certainly not the biggest superstar by any means.

  • Who are the fool who don’t want to see KJO SIR on screen?HIS ACT and looks in Bombay velvet is really inspiring.HE seems like a CLASS ACTOR.though HE is a very funny person I have ever seen like OUR KING WHO are don’t even hesitates to make fun of THEMSELVES.one such joke about HIS ACTING and another joke about working with level of directors like rajamoulli,at least please don’t bring that foolish director who are making fool to south audiences heavily from Hollywood copies to Bollywood.work with Karan Malhotra who is presently the best director if DP till now.

    I would like even more if SHAHID followed by hrithik would have the choice for shuddhi,let’s see what Shuddhi can offer it’s audience but I am happy that It could be decent movie by Youngistan’s KING—-VARUN is there who already did badlapur type movies and extremely felt happy after thrown out a expressionless wooden non actor from this project.

  • I dnt think bahubali wil be
    hit in hindi version.even superstar
    rajni’s Robot,linga are flop in hindi version

  • @Challa
    he is biggest
    2500 plus akki
    2000 SRK…c the difference..
    nd Stardust is most trusted So Ssshh…Akshay Kumar movies r most watched means he iz most popular nd most loved star ..!

  • Indicine
    post that article on Stardusts statement dat Akshays movies r most watched across the globe..
    Cos khans fans thinks khans r much bigger !!

    kash m indicine ka owner hota :P

  • @sunny chechi
    there is a a slight error
    the real statement is ‘Akshays Movies are Least Watched, not just in India but across the globe : Stardust’

  • @sunny chechi
    i m a dhoni fan, i know how to get a helicopter shot right
    u try , i ‘ll knock it out in mahi way

  • i want to see srk as dhyan chand
    karan and srk should talk about this
    the whole bollywood wants ranbir to somehow become a superstar
    after bv debacle , karan might rope rabir for dhyan chand
    this will change his image
    but I don’t want this to happen
    everyone wants to see srk as dhyan chand
    how cool srk was in chak de india
    I’m just waiting for the news which will say
    ‘ srk and karan to work together for india’s biggest sport’s legend dhyan chand’
    till then fingures crossed

  • @sunny chiech
    can your akshay do a movie like chak de india or swdesh
    he is good with action and comedy
    he is a superstar but it is stupid of you to take him as biggest superstar.
    mark my words he can never ever even think to do a movie like mnik
    just only thinking about akshay in my name is khan makes me laugh

  • Hahaha @STARK
    Bt the biggest Khiladi iz A Superstar…nd I m a Akshay Kumar Fan..Bowling ßhi krunga toh helicopter Pe Chhad K :P real helicopter..!
