Karan Johar will be completing 20 years in the film industry next year, the filmmaker spoke about the reason for the success of the three Khans; Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, and even other actors, Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar. The filmmaker admits that the stars have managed to stay connected to the audience always.
Karan Johar said, "I think the Khans have had a legacy of great cinema and longevity. All of them have been around for three decades and they have built an equity of audience who only watched films. It is a big challenge for the younger actors to live up to the audience base that has been created by these three megastars. Hats off to Shah Rukh, Aamir, Salman, Akshay and Ajay Devgn for being relevant even after working for three decades. They are just going on and on... and more respect to them. It is difficult to stay relevant. I will be completing 20 years in the industry in 2019. It is not easy (to stay here). Getting success is not that difficult if you do your job well but maintaining it is tough.”
Talking about his reality show Karan said, "There are a lot of reality shows either about singing or dancing or talent-based but here we are looking for talent in the acting department. There is an academy where these 20 contestants will stay together. On weekdays, the contestants will be trained and on the weekends there will be a celebrity guest along with us who will give the participants a challenge.”
Karan Johar praises Rohit Shetty, he said, "Our combination is great as we come from different brands of cinema. But the one thing common between us is the love and passion for our work and the film industry.”
