Continuing with the trend of incorporating promos of forthcoming films with a new release [the promo of DHOOM was incorporated with HUM TUM prints and the promo of VEER-ZAARA with DHOOM prints], the promo of Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar's joint venture KAAL will be incorporated with the prints of Yash Chopra's VEER-ZAARA, which hits the screens this Diwali.
However, this promo will be different. “It will start with the words, Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar present and then give a feel of the film, followed by the director's name [Soham Shah]. None of the actors [Ajay, Vivek, John] will be featured in the promo,” Karan Johar informs me. Meanwhile, the promo has already been censored in Mumbai [on October 5]. “It's of 1 minute plus duration,” Karan adds.
And what's happening to Karan's own project? There were talks that the film [starring SRK and Ajay Devgan for the first time] has been shelved. “That film is on the backburner currently,” Karan confirms the development, “May be I am not too well equipped and qualified enough to handle a project of that magnitude [as a producer] at this moment. When I've learnt the ropes [of film production] thoroughly, I'll attempt the film for sure.”
Karan is confident that he'll attempt the film some day. “The script is already 60% complete. I won't abandon the film, I'll go ahead with it after I make another film,” he states.
