Bollywood‘s king of romance, Karan Johar, lifts the lid on juicy secrets from his directorial debut, the ever-popular “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.” He spills the tea on captivating behind-the-scenes moments and the undeniable on-screen chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
In an earlier interview with Film Companion, Karan Johar shared a funny story about filming an important scene without telling the main actor beforehand.
Recalling a memorable moment, Karan Johar shared how he filmed the emotional reunion scene between Rahul (played by Shah Rukh Khan) and Anjali (played by Kajol) without them knowing.
He said he explained the scene to them and played a song to set the mood. Before the rehearsal started, he instructed his Director of Photography (DOP) to roll the camera. Once they finished, he said, “Cut.” Shah Rukh then asked,Now we will do the take?’ He said, ‘No, we have rolled.’ He was surprised,” Karan mentioned.
Karan Johar also shared how his father, Yash Johar, reacted casually to the incident, mentioning,My father was like, ‘Beta tu ghar jaa aur soja. Ho gaya na kaam (Son, you just come home and sleep). Don’t worry about anything.”
Reflecting on his film “Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani,” Johar praised the excellent chemistry between actors Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. He highlighted their natural rapport and how well they synced in their dialogues due to their great understanding. Describing a specific moment during the shoot, Karan mentioned that they completed one perfect shot so efficiently that they finished by 1 p.m. He said,We had nothing else planned for the day. I called pack up and got a frantic call. I said,’ I didn’t need to; what should I do?'”
