If a love story is a hit, make a love story. If a chick flick is a hit, make it. The weather changes every week. It’s the box. It’s the office, not a 30-second Instagram reel. The trend is here to stay. ).

Karan said similar things in a roundtable interview with Galatta Plus in 2022. “I think the core issue is that we come from the mainstream industry of Hindi films, myself included, but all the other films on this panel have “There’s not one very strong quality that makes you think. It’s a belief. We always stick to some kind of belief. “It’s a flow. Salim Javed in the 70s had such an original voice. There was. We created a certain character and the concept of that anxious, angry hero was derived from other movies. Then suddenly something happened in the ’80s and a new movie came out.” ”
