"My next show would be based on a similar concept," he said. Johar is now the only Bollywood director, who is essaying a variety of roles ranging from a chat show host to walking down the ramp and being on the cover page of a fashion magazine. "It's not planned. Things just happen and I enjoy it," he said. Koffee with Karan has seen lot of celebrities talking about issues that they otherwise wont like to make public. "I am friendly with all of them. I have known them for a very long time so when a friend is interviewing them, they tend to be really frank and open up." "The best guest on my show has been Rakhi Sawant, who really impressed me because she speaks her mind and is very bold." Disputing any rivalry between Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan he said, "I know both of them and they have tremendous respect for each other so all the talk of rivalry is pure gossip." Johar is currently working on the script of his next movie, which will start rolling early next year. "I make movies about issues, which I feel about. When I made Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, I felt for something else and now I feel about a different issue." |
