Producer
director
Karan
Johar's
debut
film,
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai
(1998),
saved
his
father's
banner,
Dharma
Productions,
which
was
virtually
on
the
brink
of
bankruptcy.
Not
only
that,
the
film
went
on
to
become
one
of
the
biggest
hits
of
the
90's.
It
also
consolidated
the
super-star
power
of
the
SRK-Kajol
pair
and
established
Karan
as
a
top-notch
director
of
the
Hindi
film
industry.
Karan's
career
graph
rose
further
with
his
next
two
films,
Kabhi
Khushi
Kabhie
Gham
(2001)
and
Kabhi
Alvida
Naa
Kehna
(2006).
He
ranks
amongst
the
topmost
Bollywood
directors/producers
like
Yash
Chopra,
Aditya
Chopra,
Sooraj
Barjatya.
Karan
has
off
late
been
seen
more
on
television,
though
news
about
his
next
project,
obviously
featuring
close
friends
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Kajol,
has
been
doing
the
rounds,
for
a
while.
There
have
also
been
speculations
that
the
project
may
not
happen,
as
Kajol
is
not
very
keen
on
doing
the
film.
However,
putting
an
end
to
all
the
canards,
Karan
says
that
he
will
soon
be
making
a
formal
announcement
regarding
his
next
directorial
venture,
featuring
his
favourite
pair.
But
before
that
he
wants
to
have
everything
on
paper.
Well,
we
are
waiting
eagerly
for
the
official
word
about,
Khan
or
My
Name
Is
Khan
or
whatever
is
the
actual/final
title!
