In short
- Filmmaker Karan Johar accepted regrets about the construction of ‘OK Janu’
- It stars actors Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles.
- The film Mani Ratnam’s film ‘Ok Kanmani’ was Hindi remake
Filmmaker Karan Johar recently opened his regrets related to the production of the film ‘Ok Jaanu’. Released in 2017, the film was a Hindi remake of Mani Ratnam’s film ‘Ok Kanmani’. Johar revealed that despite his early suspicion, he decided to move forward with the project. Now he sees Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor-Starr in a wrong way.
In a conversation with Podcaster J. Shetty, the 53 -year -old filmmaker reflected on the leading decisions for the film’s production.
“At that time, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor had just a hit, ‘Aashiqui 2’. They had already agreed to do the film, and the film came to me as a project. Ready. With a great remake. With a great remake. A great director. A great director. Actor. Actor. And yet, in my heart, I should really feel, I should feel really, this film is really in the film, this film is a very few in the moment!
Johar said that the weak reception of the film can be attributed to their decision not to trust their instinct. He commented, “It was not anyone’s fault. Everyone did their work well. But deeply, I knew it was not the right step – and I didn’t take action on it. Even today, I never listen to my tendency. And when I don’t, I go wrong. It’s a mistake that I am making.”
The release of ‘Ok Jaanu’ got the 2017 release with a big expectation, given its original success. However, this failed to resonate with the audience as expected.
Now, the film-producer is ready for the release of the upcoming production ‘Adhikar 2’. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film is produced by Johar’s Dharma Productions. Starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptty Dimri, the film has been slated for release on 1 August.
