I was wondering what Karan Johar is doing these days. Yes sure he is busy doing Koffee with Karan, whatelse? Khalid Mahmood asked him the same question for Hindustan Times.

I’m into the research mode for my next film, it’s the first time I’m into in-depth research.. Then I’ve shot 12 episodes for Koffee with Karan, I’ll be shooting 13 more, hopefully for everyone’s coffee fix. I’ve directed an ad film, I’ve just shot with Bebo (Kareena Kapoor) after a break of five to six years.

He said exactly the same thing for KANK (Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna). Research wasn’t visible in the movie at all. If I were Khalid Mamood, I would have asked Karan to tell us more about his research work and how he does this research. I would also like to know which scenes in his movies are a result of intense research into human emotions. Definitely Karan comes up with nice dialogues and an emotional story, but a person needs to watch too many movies to do Karan kind of films. Is this what Karan does to research on his topics? In real life, a couple crying at a railway station and reassuring each other of emotions they share is weird not entertaining but in movies when mixed with dramatic dialogues, nice locations, costumes, music and handsome actors the same thing creates super hit movie. Go a head with your research Karan, but please consider releasing a DVD version with Director’s notes appearing at the bottom of the screen, telling us how you crafted this particular moment for cinema.
