Karan Johar and Salman Khan may not have worked together since Kuch Kuch Hota Hai but the actor-filmmaker duo has set the screen on fire whenever they appeared together. Interestingly, after several years, Dharma Productions has announced a film with the superstar in the lead.
Recalling the first time he worked his Salman Khan in his debut film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Karan Johar revealed the impression he had of the star and how it gradually changed as he worked with him on the film.
In an interaction with fashion designer Prabal Gurung for Gold House NGO, Karan Johar opened up about how he had hunted down a star to play the role of Aman Mehra, fiancé of Anjali Sharma in the film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Speaking about it, Karan said, “After Chandrachur Singh and Saif Ali Khan said no, One day, I was at Chunky Panday’s house for a party and Salman came up to me and said ‘I heard you have been shopping’. He said you need to be really confident to do that part and asked me to come and narrate it to him the next day.”
The filmmaker considered it a great chance and followed Salman’s instructions. He arrived on the sets of Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai at 8:45 a.m. for a 9 a.m. shift. He then recalled shooting for the song Saajanji Ghar Aaye and he saw Salman wearing torn jeans and a black T-shirt. They had made a suit for him but Karan Johar admitted that he was very scared of Salman and he still is. At that moment, Salman said, ‘You know what, no dulha has ever worn torn jeans and made it a trend.’
