'Films
and
more
films';
that
is
his
new
pledge.
Keeping
himself
occupied,
Karan
Johar
finally
decides
to
let
the
cat
out
of
the
bag
and
reveals
the
five
new
films
Dharma
Productions
is
busy
with.
His
latest
blog,
www.mynameiskaran.com
has
an
update
on
the
upcoming
film
projects
from
his
production
house.
Abhishek
Bachchan,
John
Abraham,
and
Priyanka
Chopra
starrer
Dostana
is
all
ready
to
hit
the
screens
on
November
14.
Directed
by
Tarun
Mansukhani,
the
film's
music
is
composed
by
Vishal-Shekhar,
which
would
release
on
September
30.
Karan
is
also
producing
a
film,
which
is
tentatively
titled,
Wake
Up
Sid!
The
film
would
be
directed
by
24-year-old
Ayan
Mukherji
(Kajol
and
Rani's
cousin).
Karan
informs
that
the
film
is
a
'coming
of
age
meets
a
slice
of
life'
kind
of
film.
The
film
has
an
unusual
pair
of
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Konkona
Sen
Sharma
and
would
release
in
September
2009.
Next
up
is
Rensil
D'Silva's
(Rang
De
Basanti's
famed
screenplay
writer)
directorial
debut
film,
which
apparently
is
a
thriller
with
global
terrorism
as
its
backdrop.
The
principal
cast
comprises
of
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Kareena
Kapoor
and
Vivek
Oberoi.
The
film
would
be
ready
for
release
by
the
autumn
in
2009.
Karan's
debut
film,
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai
which
is
being
adapted
into
an
animation
film,
titled
Koochie
Koochie
Hota
Hai
would
be
Dharma
Productions'
first
animation
film.
The
film
will
be
co-produced
by
Prana
(a
seasoned
animation
house).
However,
this
animation
film,
which
has
a
plot
similar
to
K2H2,
will
be
picturized
on
animals
and
the
animal
kingdom.
The
core
love
story
is
between
three
dogs,
and
the
supporting
cast
has
roosters,
bears,
pigs,
cats,
and
many
others
from
the
barn.
Shahrukh
Khan,
Kajol,
and
Rani
essay
the
voices
for
'Rocky',
'Angie',
and
'Tina'
respectively,
(minor
tweak
on
the
original
names).
The
potential
release
date
is
late
summer
of
2009.
Last
but
not
the
least
is
My
Name
Is
Khan,
which
goes
on
floors
in
November
this
year
and
would
be
shot
at
length
in
Los
Angeles,
San
Francisco,
Washington,
and
Mumbai.
The
film
is
scheduled
to
release
by
end
of
next
year.
Karan
adds
that,
"the
film
at
heart
is
a
love
story.
At
the
soul
of
it,
it
makes
a
social
comment,
and
at
the
whole
of
it,
it's
a
human
triumph
tale."
Five
films
in
the
making,
Karan
Johar
definitely
has
a
lot
going
on.
Keep
it
up
KJo.
