Komal Nahta’s podcast Game Changers features conversations with personalities from the entertainment industry. In the latest episode, producer-director Karan Johar discussed the impact of his films overseas.
Karan Johar praises Shah Rukh Khan for making his films global hits; says, “He is not just a star; he is an emotion”
Karan Johar was asked whether his films had become so successful in overseas territories that they could still be profitable even if they did not perform well in India.
Karan responded, “Absolutely, this is a “chance pe dance” situation. 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.”
Komal Nahta’s Game Changers focuses on discussions about Indian cinema. The podcast is available on YouTube.
