Changes in Bollywood here to stick: Karan Johar

By Hindustan Times

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who have been part of Bollywood for 18 years, backs corporatisation of the industry and believes the positive changes it has caused are "here to stick".

"There have been such a lot change. The work ethics, the working style, the atmosphere, the system... I BELIEVE we finally have a way of corporatisation, a way of structure and discipline. This stuff have worked their strategy to the entertainment business and are here to stay," Karan told IANS.

Having entered the industry as an assistant diretor, Karan made his directorial debut with "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" in 1998. He went directly to make hit films like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and My Name is Khan.

His last directorial was the youthful Student Of The Year. The 40-year-old firmly believes a filmmaker's movie reflects who he really is.

"I think you are making the films that you are all about. So in case you are relevant and intelligent and creative, you be capable to do all of that during( the film too)," he said.

Karan delivered three successful productions this year - Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, Agneepath and Student of the Year - and he's content.

"It was an improbable year. To have a 3 on three record is usually a really perfect thing. To achieve success in everything that you've ever attempted is something which we're more than pleased about," he said.

"We feel very validated and grateful to the audience and to the folk who've believed in us," he added.

Having launched such a lot of young talents into the industry, Karan is deeply attached to every one in every of them and almost treats them as family.

"I feel that each one the primary time directors and actors who've been launched by Dharma Productions are family members and my kids. So when their work comes, I BELIEVE like I'VE gone to a concert with my child and that i hope that everybody gives them an applause," he said.

Talking about his future plans, he said: "Nothing have been structured or fructified at the present time. I'M on my solution to make my annual trip simply to more or less feel creative and go and write what I NEED to make next. (But) Nothing concrete as of now."
