So
what
is
Karan
Johar
planning
next?
He
has
his
hands
full
with
as
many
as
four
biggies.
Yes,
the
leading
film-maker
is
getting
into
mass
production
of
films.
To
start
with,
there's
a
project
with
his
erstwhile
assistant
Tarun
Mansukhani.
Reportedly,
the
film
will
star
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Aishwarya
Bachchan
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
in
principal
roles.
"Right
now,
only
Abhishek
is
confirmed.
We're
still
in
the
process
of
finalizing
the
balance
cast," Karan
informs
me.
There's
another
project,
with
veteran
actor
Prem
Krishen's
son
Siddharth
Malhotra
in
the
director's
seat.
Siddharth
had
assisted
Nikhil
Advani
in
Kal
Ho
Naa
Ho
and
Sooraj
R.
Barjatya
in
Vivah.
The
casting,
again,
is
under
finalization.
Plus,
there's
an
animation
film
on
the
cards
-
the
animation
of
his
blockbuster
hit
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai.
But
instead
of
humans,
the
film
will
feature
animals
in
principal
roles.
This
one's
called
Koochie
Koochie
Hota
Hai.
But
the
biggest
project
is,
of
course,
helmed
by
Karan
himself.
Reportedly,
it's
titled
Khan.
"I
would
love
to
have
this
title,
but
the
fact
is,
the
title
is
not
with
me," Karan
divulges.
Also,
the
film
will
reunite
his
favorite
pair
-
SRK
and
Kajol
-
after
K3G.
"Yes,
that's
the
cast
I'd
like
to
have
in
my
film,
but
till
everything
is
on
paper,
I
wouldn't
like
to
make
an
official
comment
on
it,"
Karan
sets
the
record
straight.
