I don`t know how to direct a film like Kapoor and Sons: Karan Johar
Updated on: 16 August, 2016 12:00 PM IST |
As a film producer, Karan Johar has been experimental, but not so much as a director. He says it&39;s because he functions according to a "certain syntax" and feels he isn&39;t capable of handling a film like "Kapoor & Sons".
For the Sidharth Malhotra, Fawad Khan and Alia Bhatt starrer, Karan chose to rope in director Shakun Batra.
Asked why he refrains from experimenting with genres as a director, Karan told IANS: "I don&39;t know how to direct a film like that. I am not as talented as Shakun Batra. I think I have a certain syntax and I think he has an outstanding talent... His energy is different."
"What he did in &39;Kapoor & Sons&39;, I am not capable of it."
Karan is currently judging the ninth season of "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa". He has decided to be strict.
Having judged "India&39;s Got Talent" too, Karan does admit that one is brutally blunt in judgment on the talent hunt contestants as compared to celebrity contestants in "Jhalak...".
"&39;Jhalak...&39; has celebrities and they are already sensitive to the fact that they are competing to each other. So, you have to be a little sensitive in your judgment. You can&39;t be insensitive because they are already celebrities in real life.
"But having said that, this particular year I have decided to be very strict."
