Karan Johar will be coming in for a lot of flak for Kurbaan , as some critics are pointing out to his version of terror as ‘designer terrorism’.But the man is unhindered by his conviction of what sells, and so he goes on to make his kind of cinema which he has recently claimed in an interview as ‘conditioning’ that the audience is treated to, and which is because of what the audience wants.
He expands on that theory by saying, India is like that. That we love Salman unconditionally, whether or not his private life validates his on-screen image. If he has a bad boy image in real life, he does not have to play a bad boy on-screen. He can redeem himself with a Prem image, and the audience just laps it up.
About Aamir he says, ‘Aamir just qualifies intelligence. He can validate anything. You watch Ghajini, and even if you don’t like it, you feel that he’s saying something in Ghajini also, because he’s Aamir Khan. You know? ’Somewhere he must be making a comment on violence.’ You’ll give it that kind of validation.’
Where there is talk of the Khans, how can he leave out SRK, after having commented on the other two?
On King Khan, and what kind of an impact he has had on Indian cinema, Karan told us, “First of all, I can never think of my films without SRK. With My Name Is Khan, we are trying to mould it into a more intense Karan Johar film. You have seen our combination making popcorn entertainment, but with this new project, I told SRK ‘look you have to play a mainstream hero,’ and the rest I will take care of. His image is such now, and particularly with my films, that I cannot detour too much from a commercial angle, so that means I will have to make his character in my film endearing. What SRK brings to Indian cinema is perhaps in my opinion, a great conviction of his part, which the audience is willing to associate with, whether it was his anti-hero era or his disciplinarian role in recent films.”
