Shraddha Kapoor’s ‘Stree 2’ has beaten Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’ Hindi version at the box-office with Rs 586 crore so far, and this horror-comedy could be Hindi cinema’s first Rs 600 crore grosser. This is unexpected and truly history in the making. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Tuesday teased his friend and filmmaker Karan Johar for hosting more chat shows and directing lesser films.
Shah Rukh and Karan, who are set to host the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards 2024, have worked together in several hit movies such as “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...
”, “My Name is Khan”, and “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna”. At the press conference of the IIFA Awards, Shah Rukh pulled Karan’s leg for being less active on the directorial front. “He hosts chat shows, film shows.
Picturein bhi toh bana mere bhai (When are you going to make films, my brother?)” said the superstar, eliciting laughter from the filmmaker. Karan, whose last directorial was 2023’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani”, admitted Shah Rukh was right. “This is sounding so wrong on so many levels for a filmmaker.
That I should be making movies. (But) That is exactly what I should be doing,” said the filmmaker, who also hosts the popular celebrity chat show “Koffee With Karan”. SRK also congratulated ‘ Stree 2 ’ actor Abhishek Banerjee as the horror-comedy beats ‘Pathaan’ at the box-office and said, “I’ve been wanting to call you.
