New Delhi: Karan Johar has made a successful return to directing with his film “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.” Starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, this movie has won over the hearts of the audience and has become the top-grossing romantic comedy in Bollywood worldwide.
Interestingly, another film called “Gadar 2,” featuring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, was released just two weeks after Karan’s film and has also become a blockbuster at the box office. Recently, during an event, Karan Johar took the opportunity to discuss these achievements and their significance for the film industry.

He expressed his happiness about the film’s performance in single-screen theaters. Karan stated, “Gadar has amazed everyone. It was a massive hit in 2001, and now in 2023, it is breaking all records. I have been delighted with the response from single-screen audiences.”
When asked about what he would do if he had access to Sunny’s phone, Karan jokingly replied that he would send a text to the entire film fraternity saying, ‘This is how it’s done.’
