Karan gives a large chunk of the credit for the success of My Name Is Khan to Shah Rukh Khan. u201cThe volume of research he did on Aspergeru2019s Syndrome, and the time he took off to get the speech and body language right just showed his dedication to the film and role. I rank his performance in My Name Is Khan as among his careeru2019s best along with Chak De, Swades and Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa.u201d
Source: Masters’ Union Asked to pick his favorite moment from My Name Is Khan, Karan says, u201cThe moment on the hill when Rizwan confesses his love for Mandira. I think there is an innocence in their love that no longer exists in any relationship. Love has become just a swipe. What Mandira and Rizwan shared was real and honest.u201d
Would Karan Johar like to revisit the lives of Rizwan and Mandira? u201cYou mean, make a sequel? No, once I tell my story I move on. I know there was a sequel to my Student Of The Year. But that was not directed by me. So no. I wouldnu2019t like to revisit My Name Is Khan. But I hope Rizwan and Mandira have another child by now, and that they have mended their broken marriage.u201d
Despite being phenomenally successful, admits he is not been taken seriously enough as a filmmaker. u201cMaybe because I do so many fun things that do not tally with the image of a… quote-unquoteu2026 ‘serious filmmaker’. But if I had a chance to do my career all over again I would still do everything exactly the same way. I would still judge Jhalak Dikhla Jaa with the same fervor as directing My Name Is Khan.u201d
