After
My
Name
is
Khan
releases
in
February
next
year,
Karan
Johar
plans
on
making
a
feature-length
film
or
a
series
of
short
films
on
AIDS
--
inspired
by
Parmeshwar
Godrej.
Karan
was
recently
seen
at
Godrej's
Heroes
project's
new
communication
campaign,
HIV
and
Soul
Cages
last
week.
Talking
about
it,
Karan
says,
"I
have
been
associated
with
Heroes
for
many
years
now.
I
joined
the
project
inspired
by
Parmeshwar's
passion
for
spreading
awareness
about
AIDS.
I
plan
to
make
a
full-length
feature
film
or
a
series
of
short
films
on
the
subject
after
MNIK
releases
next
year.
It's
especially
painful
to
see
the
plight
of
children
infected
with
the
virus
and
the
stigma
and
rampant
discrimination
toward
them.
Even
after
creating
awareness,
it's
shocking
to
see
the
high
levels
of
illiteracy
about
the
disease
in
urban
circles."
The
director
says
he
will
be
available
for
any
of
the
project's
initiatives;
he
wants
to
take
it
one
step
further.
"I
would
definitely
like
to
do
much
more.
Dharma
has
a
pool
of
talent
and
apart
from
entertainment
in
cinema,
it's
our
responsibility
to
incorporate
socially
relevant
topics.
Entertainment
can't
be
the
be-all
and
end
of
all
films.
It's
imperative
to
entertain
but
entertain
with
a
purpose."
Socially
relevant
films
might
not
be
commercially
popular.
Would
that
stop
him
from
making
films
with
a
message?
"Commercial
setbacks
always
disappointing
but
even
more
disappointing
is
making
a
film
that
just
made
no
point
at
all.
I
will
not
make
documentaries
or
something
extremely
serious;
that's
not
me.
I
will
always
make
films
that
have
a
certain
drama
or
the
connectivity
to
the
audience
wouldn't
be
there.
There's
a
certain
madness
in
me
which
will
remain
as
the
core
of
all
the
films
I
do."
