Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has teased his friend and filmmaker Karan Johar for hosting more chat shows and directing fewer films.
Shah Rukh and Karan, who are set to host the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards 2024, have worked together in several hit movies such as “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…”, “My Name is Khan”, and “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna”.
At the press conference of the IIFA Awards on Tuesday evening, Shah Rukh pulled Karan’s leg for being less active on the directorial front.
“He hosts chat shows, film shows. Picturein bhi toh bana mere bhai (When are you going to make films, my brother?)” said the superstar, eliciting laughter from the filmmaker.
Karan, whose last directorial was 2023’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani”, admitted Shah Rukh was right.
“This is sounding so wrong on so many levels for a filmmaker. That I should be making movies. (But) That is exactly what I should be doing,” said the filmmaker, who also hosts the popular celebrity chat show “Koffee With Karan”.
