My father thought I should act: Karan Johar

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who is making his full-fledged acting debut with Anurag Kashyap's "Bombay Velvet", has thanked him for making his late father Yash Johar's wish come true.

"My father thought I should be an actor...I didn't. Thank you Anurag Kashyap for fulfilling my dad's wish...just wrapped 'Bombay Velvet'!"
