Filmmaker Karan Johar On KGF Chapter 2, 'Had We Made It, We Would Have Lynched'
Mumbai, June 17 - The year 2022 belongs to South Indian cinema which has delivered the 3 biggest blockbusters of the year in the form of "KGF Chapter 2", "RRR", and "Vikram". These movies have not only performed extraordinarily at the box office but also were hailed critically.
Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar also praised the highest Indian grosser of the year "KGF Chapter 2" but it seems he is not happy with critics' overwhelming response to it. The filmmaker in a recent interview said that had "KGF 2" been made in Bollywood, critics would have slammed it left, right, and center.
"When I read the reviews of KGF, I'm like if we made this, we would be lynched. But here, everybody is like 'Oh it was a celebration, a party' and it was. I loved it. I loved it with all my heart. But I feel hum yeh banaate to? (If we had made this, then?)", he said.
KGF Chapter 2 grossed approx. 1210 crores at the worldwide box office and is now the 3rd highest-grossing Indian movie of all time. In the dubbed Hindi version, this period action drama film made a whopping 435 crores net. Karan Johar added that Bollywood makers are not given the same liberty that filmmakers from the South industries often enjoy.
"It's working both ways. I feel we are also not given any kind of leeway and then we are trying to be somebody else. So, we are all over the place. We are living a dual existence and we have to stop", he added.
On the work front, Karan Johar is currently directing his comeback movie "Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani", starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. It is scheduled to release in February 2023. Karan will also be directing his first action film next year. As a producer, he is gearing up for the release of "Jug Jugg Jeeyo", due on June 24.
