Karan starts work on his next

Usually, Karan Johar takes a break of a few years before he embarks on his next project. KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI was released in 1998, KABHI KHUSHI KABHIE GHAM in 2001 and KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA in 2006. Of course, he produced KAL HO NAA HO and KAAL in between, but the directorial reins were handed over to independent directors.

But Karan has decided against giving a two/three-year gap between K.A.N.K. and his next film. "I've already started scripting my next," Karan confides in me, "At the moment, I wouldn't be able to reveal more than the fact that the film will start in 2007."

That's not the only project that's keeping Karan occupied. For, Dharma Productions, his production company, will start two more films in 2007, to be directed by Soham [KAAL] and Tarun Mansukhani, respectively. "Most probably, we'll see at least two releases next year," Karan adds. Seems like Karan is getting back at film production with a vengeance!

Besides the above-mentioned three films, Karan will also commence the new season of KOFFEE WITH KARAN on television.
