The son of the late Yash Johar and one of the most sought-after directors today, Karan Johar has managed to steal the hearts of many with his exceptional films. Hailing from a strong filmy background, Karan Johar is known for his soul-touching stories and star-packed films. He has been recognized as one of the few directors who have managed to strike gold with nearly every release, rolling out some of Bollywood's highest grossing films in India and abroad.
Karan was born in Mumbai on the 25th of May, 1972. After completing his education at the Green Lawns High School, he then enrolled at the H.R. College of Commerce and Economics where he earned his master's degree in French. The filmmaker took his first steps in the industry with his appearance in the film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in 1995, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Karan Johar also helped director Aditya Chopra with the screen play of the film, which proved to be a smashing hit.
In the film, Karan Johar has captured places like Wales Millennium Centre, Bluewater Complex, Kent, Blenheim Palace, St Paul's Cathedral and also the banks of the River Thames. The film features a star-packed cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor and received critical acclaim when released in 2001. Karan Johar was reported to have spent nearly Rs. 40 crore for the film which in turn was crowned the highest-grossing film abroad at the time.
Karan Johar was also selected as the Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Visit Britain and was officially invited to the 2012 London Olympics. The director has also made an appearance on a video shot for Visit Britain that was aired a few months ago. Apart from the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Karan Johar was the only Indian to have been officially invited to the event. Quoting Karan, "I've been shooting non-stop for my film Student of the Year and the TV show that I'm judging. Life has been very hectic. When this invitation came through, I jumped at the opportunity. After all, it's a very prestigious event."
A movie full of energy, charm and lots of glamour, Karan Johar's Student of the Year is bound to have you wishing for your younger days once more. The film will release on the 19th of October, 2012, and has a soundtrack composed by music-director duo Vishal Shekhar. Also, the film will include a special appearance by Karan Johar's lucky star Kajol who will feature in a music video with Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. There have also been rumors of an appearance by Shah Rukh Khan!
