Shah Rukh Khan: More Than a Star, He’s an Emotion, says Karan Johar in Komal Nahta’s Game Changers Podcast!
Komal Nahta’s podcast Game Changers has been making waves since its launch, drawing immense buzz with its engaging and insightful conversations. Featuring renowned personalities from the entertainment industry, the podcast has captivated audiences and garnered widespread appreciation. While there are several guests on the couch each time, this time, it was producer-director Karan Johar who shared interesting stories about the world of entertainment and this time about the magic of his films creating wonders overseas.
When Karan Johar was asked, “Your films have become so big in overseas territories that sometimes even if they don’t do well in India, they can still be profitable just based on overseas collections!”
“Absolutely, this is a “chance pe dance” situation,” said Karan while responding to Komal Nahta. He further continued, “These were my chances, and I danced on them. The love and respect I receive there… It’s all because of one person, and that is Shah Rukh Khan. This silsila started with ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,’ then it reached ‘Dil To Pagal Hai,’ then ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ came, then ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,’ then ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho,’ ‘Devdas’… these films are the pillars of overseas success.”
Talking about the fame and worldwide recognition that King Khan has received over the years, Johar shared, “If you go overseas, it’s not just limited to the UK, USA, Australia. If you go anywhere in Europe, France, Germany, Egypt… for them, the film means Shah Rukh Khan. He is not just a star; he is an emotion.”
With Game Changers, Komal Nahta is set to redefine the landscape of Indian cinema conversations. Tune in to the YouTube channel for Game Changers!
