Call
it
a
coincidence,
but
there
is
always
a
3
or
4-year
gap
between
each
of
Karan
Johar's
films.
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hain
(1998),
Kabhi
Khushi
Kabhie
Gham
(2001),
Kabhi
Alvida
Naa
Kehna
(2006)
and
now,
his
ambitious
venture
My
Name
is
Khan
opens
this
February,
after
almost
four
years
since
his
last
release
hit
the
marquee.
"I
can't
churn
out
movies
like
a
machine.
But
I
do
promise
to
start
another
film
this
year," Karan
enlightens
me.
Reportedly,
the
supremely
talented
film-maker
is
keen
to
cast
his
favourite
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Wake
Up
Sid
actor
Ranbir
Kapoor
in
his
next
venture.
True?
"That's
news
to
my
ears.
Right
now,
I
am
too
much
into
My
Name
is
Khan
and
can't
think
of
anything
else.
The
cast
you
mentioned
is
also
untrue,"
he
elucidates.
Karan
also
adds
that
he
hasn't
cast
anyone
in
the
Agneepath
remake
yet.
"A
lot
of
people
ask
me
why
I
am
keen
to
remake
Agneepath.
Let
me
explain.
The
film
didn't
work
at
the
box-office
when
it
opened
almost
two
decades
ago
and
my
father,
who
was
very
vocal
that
Agneepath
was
one
of
his
finest
films,
always
felt
that
the
film
never
got
its
due.
He
would
often
prod
me
to
remake
Agneepath
some
day,
so
here
I
am,
fulfilling
my
father's
wishes,"
Karan
says.
The
new
Agneepath,
hence,
will
be
a
tribute
to
Karan's
father.
