Karan Johar's fancy for directing movies began with his initial work with Aditya Chopra, helping the director of the film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) with screenplay and lending a hand in direction. Karan then went on to craft his first film at the age of 25, titled Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in (1998). The film was a runaway success. Today, after directing Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and My Name Is Khan (2010) and producing a bunch of more films, Karan Johar has begun treading the small-screen way. Having first made an appearance on his talk-show Koffee with Karan, the director received a lot of critical acclaim for his TV-debut. The director made an appearance on the dance-reality show Jhalak Dikhla Ja as a judge with Madhuri Dixit and Remo D'Souza, and is currently judging the show India's Got Talent, with Kirron Kher and Malaika Arora Khan.
Student of the Year is Karan Johar's first film without his lucky charm and close-friend Shah Rukh Khan. This will also be Karan's first film with newcomers and is set apart from his previous directorial ventures. A youth-centric film in essence, Karan Johar has worked with the dialogue, screenplay, cinematography and editing for Student of the Year. The director has also choreographed the song titled Ratta Maar for the film, in the absence of a choreographer on the day the video for the same was shot.
And that's not all. Farah Khan will also make a special appearance in Karan Johar's next! The director-choreographer will play the role of a dance competition judge in one of the songs. This music video will also feature Karan Johar's close friend and lucky mascot Kajol in a guest appearance.
As for his knowledge of Television shows and the like, Karan Johar credits his mother, who happens to be a huge fan of small-screen shows. "I will be lying if I say that I am a TV addict, but my mother is obsessed with Indian television and is very happy to see me as a part of these shows. She is a huge fan of Ram and Priya (of 'Bade Achche Lagte Hain'). But I have never been into TV," says Karan.
Karan Johar has also directed movies including Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and My Name Is Khan (2010), and his upcoming film is expected to be just as glamorous and extravagant.
