Mumbai, June 15 : He made his Bollywood debut with Karan Johar’s film “Student of the Year” and now actor Varun Dhawan is gearing to work with the filmmaker again. He says a formal announcement for the project will be made soon.
Director, producer, writer, chat show host, reality dance show judge: Karan Johar’s CV could rival that of the very best in showbiz. But the one thing the 41-year-old hasn’t done – a few cameos aside – is take up a serious acting role. Now, that is set to change
We’ve all heard the news that Deepika Padukone by Shahrukh Khan and Karan Johar was forced to cancel her trip with Ranbir Kapoor to promote their new film Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. Shahrukh Khan and Karan Johar are known to be close pals, so close that Karan Johar has publicly claimed more than a dozen times that he respects King Khan and considers him more than a brother.
Filmmaker Karan Johar, who is launching a female director for the first time with “Gippi” under his banner, says talent is above gender. Sonam Nair makes her directorial debut with “Gippi”, produced by Karan’s Dharma Productions, which traces the changes in the life of a teenage girl
Madhuri Dixit’s special dance number in forthcoming film “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani” has impressed the film’s producer Karan Johar so much that he has tagged her as “queen of dance”.
Sonam Kapoor is excited to step into Rekha’s shoes for “Khoobsurat” remake, but at the same time she is a bit scared how she would recreate the same charm and spirit of the character. “I am scared because the whole point of the film is to capture the spirit of that character because the story has been completely changed. She did it so beautifully and I hope I can do even 10 percent of what she did,” Sonam said here in an interview.
As the Indian Cinema celebrates 100 years of its existence Bollywood actress and fashionista Sonam Kapoor shared her love for classic look and said she copied legendary Madhubala’s sari from a song for an event. “There was a sari of Madhubala from ‘Achcha ji main haari…’, I actually copied that sari for Filmfare’s press conference,” Sonam told IANS. “It was a very simple and elegant blue sari with black border.

Here are all the chart buster’s from Karan Johar’s upcoming film Student Of The Year. The movie has 3 debutantes Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra. All three of them look superb together in the songs
The latest gossip in B-town is that Karan Johar has had a fallout with his old friend Shahrukh Khan. Reason being, Karan not directing SRK for the first time in his career in SOTY! if that’s not enough, apparently, SRK is infuriated because of Karan’s lavish praises for his SRK’s arch rival Salman Khan. Karan praised Salman Khan saying, “I’m a huge Salman fan
EXPECTATIONS There are very good expectations from the music of Student Of The Year . After all, the film marks the return of Karan Johar to the world of quintessential commercial cinema (after My Name Is Khan ) and since the sheer premise (campus setting) promises a youthful outing, roping in of Vishal-Shekhar as the composers only makes proceedings further interesting.

Thanks to his mother, Karan Johar is aware of what’s happening in “Uttaran” or “Balika Vadhu”, but the Dharma Productions head honcho, who excels at fiction and family cinema, has his reservations about entering the television industry. He says he doesn’t understand a medium that entertains people by projecting unhappy lives.

Our filmmakers in Bollywood have many-a-times had a tussle with the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over various issues. Hence, it was rather apt to have a session on ‘Censorship in India: Challenges and the Way Forward’ at FICCI-Frames 2012. The session was moderated by filmmaker Karan Johar while the panelists consisted of filmmaker Ramesh Sippy, Leela Samson (Chairperson of CBFC) and Pankaja Thakur (CEO of CBFC)
It was the last but certainly not the least session of an eventful 3 days at FICCI-Frames 2012.

Karan Johar never quite hid his displeasure when some of his proteges decided to break away from his production house after enjoying a high profile launch. Some of the most notable instances were that of Soham Shah and Nikhil Advani who decided to move on after making Kaal and Kal Ho Na Ho . ‘Once bitten twice shy’ could well be the filmmaker’s ‘mantra’ as is obvious in the professional ties that he is sharing with his newer bunch of directors.
