Take Care! Bye!

Very nicely, so much , that all in 2009. And have I today to watch what? Can one not more quickly twist these films? Can one maybe write several scripts on once?
I just have such the expectation from Dharmy. One two films in the month .
Nice work and happy trip.
...

very excited with the line- up. waiting for the saif kareena starrer but why vivek oberoi in it.
i am a huge saif- kareena fan

good luck

hey karan

fantastic line-up. can't wait to watch saif-kareena thriller. make sure it turns out good. t the amazing talent of the couple shouldn't be wasted like in tashan. love them both

Where in washington u'll be shooting, may be i can stop by and say hello :)

wowwww!!!!lovelyyyy locations for my name is khan.a very good break from newyork and i cant wait for u guys to start shooting :P am so excited about anything related to MNIK.

also looking forward to the animation film koochie koochie hota hai. :D

konkana n ranbir in your film is a weird combination really.but i would love to see how ayaan will pull of the unusual cast.keep it coming karan.i always have a smile on my face reading ur blogs.

I think that you work when or plan future undertakings you feel nice tension and anxiety. WHEN
the proper creative work begins the level of the adrenaline grows up and the calm dream is the only dream. One can so live.
There are also the ones who only draw the pleasure from Your work unfortunately. The ones who he is not given to feel the taste of creating. The spectator is such. This in the turn is impatient, conquest and aggressive. The new film would like to he came into being every day. This rather difficult know to realizing but one in the month ...-)).I would like to have such power to be able to ask directors:I ask wind up two films till the future week quickly. And the wish becomes fulfilled in the flicker of the eye. I love the cinema, I could settle in him. Television set is the most important equipment at the home ...Just and to bake the kitchen, my son has to unfortunately eat. Just, well yet books and computer. Mh... I will settle somewhere where some day there is no winter. And I will settle in the cinema, I will pass meals during the pause the highest .This God's will be the life ....And I do not represent films it was stripped from music and dance. My son says that I am not the normal mum. These normal are serious supposedly.My son says:only you the mum you dance in the kitchen. God's love the cinema and do not want to be normal.
And God's ask You may my son was equally "not normal".
...

"Wake up Sid" sounds fresh and out of the box. Good job on the casting.....casting and title will definately lure people to the multiplexes. Good luck with Dharma.

hi!
i like any movie starring kajol, so 'my name is khan' is in my must see list. the name 'wake up sid' uh did not like much, remind the story of some guy on drugs, women and out of control lifestyle. destroy the important relationships in life blah, blah etc...
your movie Koochie Koochie Hota Hai and roadside romeo from yashraj seems same style. anyway best of luck to you.

i like your movies 'kkhh' and k3g, but “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was not my kind of movie.

Karanji, you shoud know that your blog for me is like a drug, I amd checkin very day for see if there is any news and is great for me to know that today you wrote in my opinion in a very special way, you are sharing with us all your feelings and with it I feel like we are important for you in your life sometimes, it means that between you and people like me there is a conexion or comunication and for me is so important.

I am so happy because you have too many big planings for this year and I am sure each one will fantastic and people will love it. You have a big power in your heart and is that you know how touch people´s heart, and I am sure that all your new proyects will touch us very deeply.

See can I give you one advice if you don´t mind? I know you are hindu but in the methaphisic there is one work with two master who called Djwal Khul & Hilarion and they have one afirmation wich is: I AM IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME DOING THE RIGHT THING, when you are confused or tired or full about problems just repit this and it wil help you to be in peace another time, try and tell me how is going on.

Waiting your next post.

Hello Mr. Johar, I finds it really first-class which you own these Blog. This proves to me that you must be quite a normal person. Only you have a hard job. I have sometimes 2 ask! Their films are simply fantastic. I could have a look at them every day, but, unfortunately, now for it I have no time. So her films are so brilliant. However, this also lies with the screenplays. But why there is no reading fiction of your films? I believe these books would well sell in Germany. If already the biographies of the stars sell so well, then certainly also the reading fiction. I believe this the imagination of the fans properly stimulates. The other what I wanted to ask: Do they also come with on the Temptation Reloaded show? With us in Berlin on the 17.10.2008? I would be glad very much if you could give me on it an answer. I wish you all good and furthermore a lot of success. And greet to me, nevertheless, request Shah Rukh. (Even if he does not know me!)

Yours faithfully
Betty, Germany

P.S.: The musik is brilliant. Give us more from. *grin*

I don't mind "Wake up Sid".

I won't watch "Kootchie ...". Firstly because I don't watch animations that much and desi animations even less, and secondly because the title suggests that the movie is definitely not for 28 year old men :)

All movies seem so far off. I hope My Name is Khan has a strong plot and script. We've already seen a lot of emo drama in your K movies. I'm not saying they were bad, but you should try something different na!

Koffee,
Prasun

Rock on KJ... looking forward...

best of luck for future, as u ve always had best of luck in the past.... ;)

Hello Karan,

I wish you ALL THE BEST in all your endeavors as always.
Keep up the hard work and make Dharma productions as country's best production house. You can do that. You have that capacity and energy.

Thanks,
Ram

If you are shooting in san francisco you MUST MUST MUST check out these locations,

Sausalito (cute and classy little twon by the sea) - 10 minutes north of SF. .........the Big Sur - an hour or two south of san francisco the cliff and beach locations are to die for... ... Just thought it might help in your travel!

Good Luck with everything!

Hi Karan,
First of all, you are an excellent director and cannot wait for My Name is Khan! I really do believe in your talent!
Secondly, your blog is totally amazing! I love the way you write and I like the way you have given an insight into your projects at Dharma Productions!
As a blogger myself, I know how it is important to engage the readers to your blog. With all your posts, I must say you do it effectively. Once I start reading I cannot stop! Due to this, I have even asked the readers of my blog to read your blog as I have been really impressed by it!
I wish you all the best with all the films that you have got and most of all I am looking forward to you getting back in the director's seat for My Name is Khan! Wishing you all the best with the pre-production work!
Thanks for a great read!
High regards,
Rahul

Good luck, Karan. :)

Cheers!

PS: (This doesn't need to get published on your blog, if you don't want) I just wanted to confirm if it's you on my friend list on Facebook? I ask this, coz I've seen no activity on your Facebook page and fear that it may be some impostor posing as you)

Thank you so much for the Info Karuuuuuu :D
I wish you ALL THE BEST :)
Love you

great blog KJ
evrybody was dying to hear bout ur new projects n now i feel somewhat satisfied
all projects hav something new n exciting to offer
cant wait for ur films

PS - plz keep da kuch kuch hota hai title track in kootchie kootchie...I simply luv dat song

what a rhyme good karma at dharma followed by borning republic day kind of speech. main aur meri tanhaai,
mein ye kahta aur tum khush hote

hm... interesting line up of films on your plate.

'Wake up Sid' sounds interesting... title wise but also because you cast Konkana... I think she is a great actress and falls outside of the usual bland good looks too. I like her very much.

The animation definitely sounds like my thing... I love animations on the whole, they are the most likely to get me into the cinema these days. Having the original cast lend their voices will definitely be a plus. Shah Ruhk Khan has such a wonderful voice (eek.. sorry... I do try not to get too fanatic about him in you blog... it would not be fair ;)

the thriller sounds less my thing... although I do like Saif Ali Khan. Kareena isn't my thing though... the only film she so far managed to convince me in is Jab We Met... but there she was really cute. Sorry to say it but in my opinion she's got the dancing abilities of a rock... and only when thrown hard across the water. I much prefer her sister Karisma... but luckily people like different things and different persons, so for my dislike there will be any number to even it out.

My Name is Khan... well... to be honest... having SRK in it is enough to make sure I'll watch it (sorry sorry sorry). The few things one hears are definitely enough to heighten my curiosity... but I would not even dare to comment on whether it will be a good story. It will certainly be interesting to see how far you dare to deviate from your usual line. Considering KANK I only have to say... be true to yourself and go the full 90 yards ... any compromising for fear of being to risky will surely compromise the story... the way the unnecessary and bland attempts at comedy compromised KANK and its characters. I felt it was there to make the story more palpable...but most of the time it was very heavy handed. (exempting Sam... he was a real treasure)

Hm.. btw... ever considered some kind of fantasy? Dreams come true? Or hopefully not come true... (remember some of your dreams?) Nah... what I have in mind isn't quite your style I think.

Well... enough of that... looking forward to the next entry.

Yours

Hi Karan.

I'm feeling kind of down today, due to some circumstances that were beyond my control. I wish I could be a bit "lighter", as you said, in my comment. I will try my best.

I am very much looking forward to the Saif/Kareena/Vivek movie, as well as the Ranbir/Konkona pairing. And of course, the Abhi/Priyanka/John group of Dostana. I like how you pick such unusual but loveable actors and actresses for your films.

Wake Up Sid seems cute, but I don't know if the title will have a lasting appeal. It seems like it might get old after hearing the name a lot of the time.

Lastly, I would love to see you film another movie in Toronto. I never got to catch the Kal Ho Naa Ho crew while you were here!

P.S. I know everyone wants to hear you talk about Shahrukh Khan and your friendship with him, but I would really like to hear your take on Gauri Khan. I am very curious to hear about your relationship; you both seem to be so close! :)

Hi Karan, your story ideas are exciting as usual! About 'Wake up Sid!' - I gather that the movie is about some sort of a realization vis a vis time and the comprehending of its momentum. I would suggest - 'Good Morning Sid!' or 'Rise and Shine Sid" or 'Get Real Sid!" or something to that effect. Having said that, I must confess that 'Wake up Sid' has a nice ring to it!

**~~ Hi Karan!! (very excited talking to u)

I have been reading your blog from the start but this is my first comment. I am a huge admirer of your work. I remember during K2H2 I stood in the queue for 8n1/2 Hrs to get the tickets.

Such wonderful films you have given us .....and as I am growing up....they are becoming such wonderful memories of mine............not only the movies but those moments also.........standing in the line, with expectations about the movie....waiting to see Shahrukh, kajol, rani....just Fantastic.
Thank you Karan.

I never used to wacth Hindi movies, was more into hollywood. But then with DDLJ and later with your movies I started watching them.
Till now I make it a point to watch every karan+Shahrukh movie in the cinema.Same is true for an Aamir Khan movie though.

What this Blog does is gives us opportunity to express our appreciation towards your creations, which was always there but without any proper medium to express.Kudos web2.0.

Btwn, 'Wake up SID' is a cool name. Was speaking to some of my friends over the phone, they all liked it.

Wishing you Health & Happiness,
and All the Best-

Rahul Sengupta (Kolkata-Tollygunje)~~**

Hello Karan

Finally i decide to write to you, sorry for mine English is not that good. ... yes i spek spanish, bollywood have spanish fans not just from Peru, also from some other country mine is Panama.

Glad to hear that your busy, that mean if everything work out fine we will have good fun in the future.

I have to go, (workingcall me) keep the good work, we will wait patiently... well not so patiently but we will wait, please dont tell much about MNK, let it be a big surprise.

Take care

PS: ahhh Can you do some movie whit Prety Zinta and Saif Ali Khan

hi karan,


definitely looking forward to Dostana and Wake Up Sid as i'm fans of Abhishek and Ranbir......Wake Up Sid is a great title in my opinion.....i just had a question........how can the people in and around San Francisco become a part of your film??like extras or bit parts??

I'm really looking forward to all your movies, but in the mean time I just saw the new Batman movie and WOW, it's great, you should definitely see it. We all know that you're the best there is today when it comes to emotional scenes and you've made brilliant love stories, but do you see yourself moving into a different genre? You're the bet there is when it comes to executing emotional scenes (i've never felt the emotion the way I have in your films) and you have a good flair for comedy too and it would great to see this combination in a different genre of films such as an action film. I would honestly like to see how you would make an action film, in fact, it's one thing I'd like to see before I die (im only 20 so you have plenty of time). I think if you made an action film, you'd get right what normal hindi action movies don't and that is substance. Hindi action movies have a handful of cool action scenes, a couple of witty lines, but overall there is no substance in plot, I think you can get the substance right and give us an action movie that can be remembered for the ages. I hope you consider this during the brainstorming process of your future films.

p.s. I know it's too early, but can you get tarun, abhishek, and john to do a commentary track on the DVD of Dostana, I think it would be a great feature on the DVD and fun to watch. I doubt abhishek would say no because thanks to your show we all know how much he loves to talk

Hmm..San Francisco!
looks like I will have to drive there more often to catch up with you...
or you can ping me and I would love to help you out in whatever way.

Do you encourage people to come watch the shooting? I would love to see you at work.(emphasis on work not you :) ....clarifying...not personal interest in you as such..just always wonder how film-making is actually executed).

Wake Up Sid sounds good and I love that you are working with such a brilliant actress(my fav. konkona).

Busy is good KJo, better busy than not, eh?:)

(I will wait for an email saying 'when and where do we meet" :) )

Hi Karan
Your line-up of upcoming releases sounds great! The title "Wake Up Sid!" is interesting..it's different in a good way.
Very exciting to read your comments on MNIK! And the cities you've chosen are awesome (nice to see you're taking a break from NYC...though I wish you were shooting in NYC so I would be able to catch a glimpse behind the scenes!). I don't know much about LA but SF has great locations and architecture...the Bay, Sausalito, Golden Gate Bridge, etc :). Keep blogging!

Peace.

and I wonder if shahrukh will run across the Golden Gate with arms out open :)
That would be a TYPICAL KJO-SRK scene :)

ab to golden gate pe hi din-raat intezaar karungi :) he he :)

KARAN - WON'T ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS ...???

The kind of films , the directors and the teams that you are bringing up for Dharma looks so overwhelming. There is almost a flag of success...but .....but....but...your announcements about dostana/MNIK would rise expectations about wht you are going to offer and when the expectations are high its hard to please the audiances. You know better, wont you ????

And more importantly if you fail at such an instance - you are gone !! KANK is such an example that brought you lot of ill-fame ..many of your fans hated you after KANK. Do you want that to happen again ??


I ask you, what is the need to talk about My Name is Khan when you have not even started shooting it ???? Why are you talking about a film that is going to release after 1 year from now ???? Ok..lets assume that this hype willl give you biggest openings, but do you want just big openings or a lasting career in bollywood ?? I know you want the second one.

I belive Karan Johar has honesty and substance - pls stick to it.

well wisher,
Madhu

Hi Karan...OMG You said My name is khan goes on the floors in November of this year OMG. The film is going to be shot extensively in Los Angeles, San Francisco, WASHINGTON, and Mumbai OMG I live in Washington...so its mean I will see you?????Karan you are the best 4 ever...you really make thousand people happy I want to cry I cant belief it...My dream is see you Kajol and Srk...Karan you are sooooooooo nice ...

Everything is going to go well... and My Name is Khan is going to release the end of next year. Yeh intezaar humse aur nahin hota... I really hope the weather does not come as a problem... coz its winter time here in U.S....But LA and San Francisco is going to be perfect for a winter shoot I guess... I guess I should make plans to go to Washington... Please post it on your blog when you get to Washington... I wanna c srkajol together... or post pictures... Yea... that will be great. Do post pictures. Just for our relief... Gud luck with all the projects coming up under your production house. I really hope each of these films become a bigger than all the films released from Dharma... And My Name is Khan is a sure shot hit. It is going to be the biggest hit in the last 8 years. After K3G this is going to be The Movie...

hey Karan,
wow - good luck with all these movies and inshallah they'l go really well!
So cant wait for all of them esp. kkhh and mnik (hint:SRK) lol
once again, loved the way you write and this time so simple which is even better! :)
take care

Hey Guess who's here to comment again!! Surprise!! lol

Ok you've asked a few questions let me start by putting my two cents worth on those.

1- the name wake up sid, ummm I would love to give an informative answer yet can't do that because mainly I have no idea what the title stands for?! does it have to do with the larger meaning of the story? wake up as in grow up, check out the world around you sort of thing? well if it is, and this story is a coming of age then yeah the title is appropriate...otherwise I'm totally oblivious as to the importance or lack of, this title has to the story.

2- Music of dostana...I guess cum September we'd be able to give a better answer to that one also! :)

3- Saif and kareena and global terrorism....I admire Saif...I think he's an acting powerhouse, when he is properly utilized! Films like Omkara, Eklavya, Ek hasina thi... and being cirus were his kind of films...films where he's being silly and "attempting comedy" are not...he is completely wasted in those and I hope this film you are working on has none of that...Kareena I liked very much so and wanted her to star in all her upcoming movies with Shah Rukh, alas recently I've been hearing reports about how arrogant she is and that includes her love interest also...that really put me off her for now...hope she manages to salvage her self because people have very fragile emotions and once those emotions are betrayed they are very very difficult to mend! Vivek I liked in Omkara also and in Yuva... appart from that I haven't seen him much in anything else....and lastly global terrorism? ummm not very sure if I like the sunny deol typical "stuff" so I'll pass on commenting on that!

4- About your animation film ...I like Disney stuff I think it's cute...sadly though I'm too much of an adult to watch cartoons now....but I'm sure the little ones will enjoy uncle Shah Rukh and others play terribly cute character, cuchi cuchi coo lol cute title too I know I'm not using Ks but I'm still too much of a foreigner to start using Ks for Cs .... :)

5- last but not least...MINK what a fancy nick name for a very much anticipated film...Love story :super....social comment :hope it's one that most people agree on...human triumph : who in their right minds won't enjoy that?! I think most will ...the usual NRI local formula seems to be forever hounding you yaar ...can't let go of that one huh? lol oh well at least you've changed cities which is cool I think!! CA is such a beautiful state ... love SF but LA? lol at least stay out of the hood!! Washington DC? oh well I hope this movie is an awesome one...SRK is my all time favorite guy in the world...I watch all his movies even if they were total rubbish...but so far haven't seen any that fit that bill!! :) ..ONE request if I may...please higher decent American actors...who could actually act?! and not sound like they are someone you've picked up from the street corner and gave a 100 bucks to and asked them to read a few lines in your movie!!...sorry dude but those pathetic attempts at being extras let alone actors" were what ruined KANK for me ...it would 've been a very mature film had it not been for the crazy announcer lady...the trailer trash American coach ,,,and that whale of a nurse...I'm sounding harsh here forgive plz but just don't want the same things to tarnish a film that many are so eagerly and anxiously awaiting ...some even for 7 years :O

Don't believe much in karma or luck ....but I can certainly send good wishes dharma's way....and all the best!

keep us posted about new little details and developments about MINK while you travel to secure the locals and other things involved in the film....TNT :)

First I would like to wish you good luck on all the films that you would be working on Karan
Next ....I simply CANNOT wait for My Name Is Khan
and next year end is a LONGGGGGGGGGG way
I am huge fans of saif and vivek when it comes to the actors
they come after Shahrukh:)
and I am a huge Kareena fan....she is in my top 5 for actress
so a movie with Saif, Vivek and Kareena I would DEFINITELY see that movie
thank you Karan for almost completing my dreams in seeing Shahrukh, Saif and Vivek in one movie.....
and oh “Wake Up Sid!” sound good
It remind me of that commercial on tv where everyone is falling asleep on their job and then at the end it say...."wake up people"

WELL ALL THE BEST TO YOU Karan
GOD BLESS
YOUR FAN
MESHANNA

Salut Karan,

Et bien que de bonnes nouvelles, et un tas de chantiers en route, je vous souhaite à toi et à ton équipe beaucoup de courage, et que succés et réussite soient au rendez-vous.
Pour le titre ''wake up side'' c'est pas mal rien à redire.

Hello Sir,

You ask anybody in the industry from the Spot boys to the EP and Post which is the best place to start working and comes the reply start with Dharma Productions. They are the best people in the industry.

I believe your KARMA at DHARMA is well in place. Its takes generations to build such a reputation in such a competitive industry.

Its Branded now !!!
Loyalty is indeed a very rare quaity.
Best Wishes!!

Vinod Agarwal

Disappointed that you are shooting 'KHAN' extensively in the U.S. People do not care about watching pretty locales anymore, if the story is not interesting. I live in Herndon, Virginia...btw. So it's not sour grapes. You could have used a Middle East connection there, like Mumbai-Jeddah and Los Angeles. SRK could be shown working for a company with a global business in Saudi or something, that is where all the action is in terms of terrorism etc, and it would be truly unique as well.

'Wake up Sid' is a good title, hope u stick with it. Ranbir and Konkona pairing looks interesting. No more Rani and Saif, please!
Only the SRK and Kajol chemistry is worth watching...please avoid using Rani and Preity now with SRK, it's gotten boring. There is no dearth of good female actors in Mumbai. I also think you should cast someone other than SRK in your next directorial venture, I don't know what your relationship is with him. But to outsiders it seems like he may be using you for his benefit. Would he have the same relationship with you if you were not a director? Sorry, if you don't like my saying this.

I love cinema and it looks like a waste of your creativity, energy and resources to use SRK in every directorial venture. Surely, there have to be certain scripts where other actors fit the role better. SRK is just average, he got lucky with scripts offered to him. I can't imagine anyone else doing DDLJ, however I can imagine Aamir doing KANK. Your film would have done better if you had taken Aamir.

This is food for thought. Think about it.

One of the most articulate, well presented, entertaining, insightful blogs I have ever read from our stars.
You stand out once again with your blogs, just the way you do with your movies. A breath of fresh air from the lot.
Much Respect!

Good Karma is a person's true dharma. Dharma production has always delivered good work under your leadership. The place buzzing with work,as you state it, looks an energetic and pretty picture.Your father would be very proud looking at you from the heavens up above. You have the potential of taking Dharma production to much greater heights. So, go get it tiger!

with all the good wishes and love.

Your biggest fan

hi karan,thanks 4 virtually taking us to ur office....when my first email got a reply fm dharma-productoins,i knew it is THE BEST IN INDIA,ur staff is polite n informative...thanks to you... all the titles r fine par kya hindi kho gayeE???? ALWAYS THE BEST 4 YOU.....PS----I DEFLATED FB NOW THERE WILL B GLOBAL HEATING FN THE OBNOXIOUS AIR SPREADING.......

Hi Karan,

It is nice to know what is coming up from your production. All the best for your venture.

Karan, are you looking for a fresh ideas ( original script ). I have 2 film script. I would very appreciate if I can get appointment with you.

Thanks and regards,

Samir

Hi,

Wishing u all sucess with your upcoming projects . They all sound very promising :)

But a few sugesstions:

1. koochie koochie hota hai isn't a good title . PLease change that name.

2. Ranbir and konkana doesn't seem like an interesting pair :(

love
Vidya

hey karan,

"wake up sid!" is one film i'll b really looking forward to. ranbir and konkona - wow that an amazing combo and also the name is different n catchy. it seem like sid lives in his own dream world and u r asking him to wake up and face the world. pls keep the name - it's very nice.

"thriller with global terrorism" - oh no, not another one!! haven't we seen way too many of these kind of films??? anyways as u have agreed to produce it may b it will have something interesting to offer. i just wish u don't end up producing another film like “kaal”.

looking forward to the music of "dostana". i surely hope they do a good job with “dostana”. as lately after "om shanti om" they haven't done anything outstanding. even the songs of "bachna ae haseeno" r plain average. u have a good ears for music as all your movies has great music – so i have enough faith in u to bring the best from the music directors.

with SRK & Kajol and u at the directors seat - nothing can go wrong with “my name is khan”. Even the name is soooo cool. btw how come u haven’t worked with A.R. Rahman yet?

p.s. watched “jaane tu ya jaane na” yesterday and liked it. such a sweet love story. reminds me of “kuch kuch hota hai” at parts. did u have the same feelings?

hi karan sir, i think first time u are producing many film. best of luck ur forthcoming film. sir i am biggest fan yash johar ji n u. so sir plz contact me.i m waiting ur reply.

Dear Karan,

It is very nice once again reading your blog. So many people are down on KANK and I really do not understand why is that. For me, you were just bringing out what happens or can happen if you marry without love. Unfortunately, the story of KANK happens to be real life story of some people. The music was great.

I am happy to know that MNIK is a love story and really looking forward for it because you cast my favorite on-screen couple. Your movies always first day, first show is a sold out in NY; you give us dreams and happiness.

Karan, you always look smashing in your photos. Wish you the best in all your ventures.

A very big fan of yours

film with SAIF and KAREENA would be fantastic. but karan on global terrorism without songs?? i mean saif's career is in a bit of a mess and the media over exposed the couple so much that i think this would be very risky, especially for them. so why don't u plan a nice rom com with good songs with them. they both are mind blowing actors .

race worked but thrillers aren't working and if u look at the polls in indiatimes, indiafm the genre the audience is least interested in watching are the thrillers. so if u want to make a thriller make it with a much safer starcast. this will be too much pressure on SAIF-KAREENA
think abt it PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
LUV SAIF AND KAREENA. they r the best.

Heya Karan,

This is Nandini ....

I have been reading your blog.....

And I am waiting eagerly For "My name is Khan"....

And "Wake Up Sid " Sounds great!!..

I have a feeling that the name "Sid" would suit Ranbir.. haha...Dunno why ....

Koochie koochie Hota hain sounds Cute and Chweeeeeeeet!!... :)

Have a great Time ... And a great journey!......Keep blogging.. I'll be looking frwrd 2 it..!!:)
Luv ya!
buhbyee

(http://cid-c850147b1365c809.spaces.live.com/)Dont you think the time has come when India needs a MODERN CHANAKYA? And celebrities can play the role of Modern Chanakya in exhorting youths to build a New India?

Dont you think the recall and referendum practice should start in India too since many a time unwanted people reach the Parliament.

And dont you think a film can be made depicting how the Modern Chanakya starts a new revolution in India?

Hi Karan

first of all, I really like your style in these blogs. Very intelligent and self-deprecating and I like that. You try to be really honest here with us. I had a blast reading some of your lines :)

Now, "Wake up Sid" seems like a nice title. Not exhilarating but nice, and I am looking forward to seeing this one.
Saif and Kareena together - I am really intrigued.
A thriller - you've made me curious !! You are a fantastic story-teller and I loved your stories so far, and a thriller will be interesting, though I have to admit that terrorism ... well it's kind of an "worn-out" subject.

What I am really happy about is that you brought our favorite jodi back together :) - Shah Rukh and Kajol together in a film again, I love you for that :)

Anyway, I wish you all the best for your future projects and I hope you have a great time filming in the US.

Love

i am dying to see srk-kajol together
best of luck for all ur forthcoming movies.

Dear Karan,

Wow! What a line-up of Karma at Dharma. We in USA eagerly look forward to your every movie. After K3G and KANK you have become a household name here. I am sure everyone is now waiting to see Dostana - November this year looks too far away!

On Karma at Dharma, there was once a news that you are planning to produce a TV serial, with or without Ekta Kapoor, I'm not sure. It is a great idea as TV viewers are clamoring for something different, which you alone can give. Please do not give up on this, even if your hands are full.

Love

Tilak Rishi (USA)

DEAR KARAN,
ALL THE BEST FOR MNIK ! IM DYING TO SEE SRK-KAJOL JODI..OHH I'VE REALLY MISSED IT. THANKS A LOT FOR BRINGING THEM BACK 2GETHER.
HEY KARAN WANNA TELL U SUMTHNG.... I JUST WATCHED KANK AGAIN AFTER 2 YEARS JUST TO LOOK AT IT FROM A MORE MATURED POINT OF VIEW. I WAS IN CLASS 11 WHEN IT RELEASED AND COULD'NT AGREE WITH THE STORY.IT WAS THE FIRST TIME WHEN I DID'NT CRY WITH SHAHRUKH...INSTEAD CRIED WITH AB. I FELT DEV AND MAYA WERE CHEATING ON THEIR SPOUSES. BT NOW WHEN THINK BACK I FEEL MAYBE I WAS'NT OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THE MOVIE. TODAY I FEEL DIFFERENT...I SUPPORT THE STORY. DEV AND MAYA WERE NOT WRONG ENGAGING IN AN EXTRA MRITAL AFFAIR. RIA HARDLY HAD TIME FOR DEV...THE FOOTBALL MATCH THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO DEV WAS NOT IMPORTANT FOR HER.SHE NEVER STOPPED TO THINK HOW IT PAINED DEV WHEN HE CULDNT PLAY ANYMORE......SHE WAS TOO BUSY BECOMING SUCCESSFUL.
WHEREAS RISHI NEVER UNDERSTOOD MAYA'S SILENCE...FOR HIM LUST WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN TRUE LOVE .
THANKS KARAN FOR HELPING ME UNDERSTAND RELATIONS BETTER..........UR THE BEST....THANKS AGAIN.
LOVE
SAYANTANI : )

great line up of movies...can defintely say dharma productions is goin places, and yes my name is khan....i film im really lookin forward to watchin....gonna be great
all ur blogs hav been fab, keep em comin, its a joy to read

best of luck with all 5 movies too...

Dude, it all sounds really ace! I'm glad Vivek &Kareena will be seen in another film together, I think they work really well together, whether it's Yuva or Omkara, the chemistry that was required to believe the relationship of their characters was spot on! &I have to say 'Wake Up, Sid' is an awesome title!

Hello Karan,

congratulations! 5 films equals 5 potential hits! Your father would be proud (or envious? But on top of that - udoubtedly - happy :-)) Enjoy that thought, nevermind the stress. You will be fine.

"Wake up, Sid!" is a good title. Simple and full of meaning. Let me guess: is it about the importance of facing life, being honest and open? About courage to pay for your dreams with everyday hard work and inevitable moments of dissapointment? Every fullfilled dream consists of something we don't take into account while just dreaming it... That kind of message? Well I guess I just have to wait and see.

Now, something very self-indulgent and personal...
I am sorry to embarrass you (and myself) but there is something I simply need to express: "I love K-k-k-karan". There. I'm feeling much better. Lighter. I can go back to work.

Best wishes from Poland ;-))

wake up sid title sounds interesting

SAIF ALI KHAN and KAREENA KAPOOR together would be mind-blowing but pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee a THRILLER ON GLOBAL TERRORISM?????

no wayyyy . it will not work. no one wants to watch a thriller and subjects on terrorism are done to death. plsssssssssssss KARAN make a nice film with this couple in any other genre.

and also when will u cast SHAHRUKH- KAREENA together. i think they would make an amazing pair. just recall asoka.

not interested in AB BROODING BABY, JOHNNY WOODEN BOY AND PIGGY HAMMING CHOPS

change 'wake up sid' sounds like the guy in 'dil chahata hai' u can call it 'GOOD MORNING'

......i want a punjabi suffi song in mnik[in the background]

I think your awesome. Rock on Karan, Rock on!

your dreams are coming true....but day before yesterday u were at katrina kaif's birthday party....N i loved the way u were protecting a lady..(gauri)...n holding her hand...AH! lovely.... so how come u wrote this blog.........

LOVE U LOTS.....
LOVE U........
KEEP GOING.....
U ALWAYS ROCK N SPECIALLY IN THAT RED BELT HAH!!
LOVE ...U
MUAH!!!!
LOVE U ALWAYS.....

Hi Karan.. This is my first communication with you and i am all thrilled and excited about it.. i dont know if u will ever read it or not.. i hope u do.. First of all.. let me tell u.. ( which ofcourse i know everyone says ) " i am a real fan of urs.. though i did not liek all ur movies.. i really admire u.. and follow everything related to u. u know.. i always think.. what "different" should i say to a celebrity when i meet him or communicate with him/her that he really understands how big a fan i am.. and u know how its with us indians.. we admire ppl from the big screen.. anyways.. enuf of it.. just know this that all my good wishes are always with u.. Right from Kuch Kuch.. when i was in class 9 th.. i like ur work.. and probably.. becoz that was teh first time i fell in love in my life.. she was my batch mate... and i cud just identify with what kajol's character went through in the movie.. the pathos of losing the first love.. and i must say.. u brought it out beautifully on teh screen.. neverthe less to say.. i cried a lot.. watching the movie.. each and every time,...especially when she wore that loud pink and orange dress and ppl made fun of her.. i cant tell u how much i cried on that.. anyways.. K2H2 will always remain a very special film and close to my heart.. I liked kabhi khushi kabhi gham.. but in some parts... liek teh tragedy part was not as good as th eelighter moments.. and u managed to get the best out of kajol.. ( i must add.. rani is my favourite , only after my all time favourite madhuri dixit )
i wont comment on kal ho na ho.. as it was not ur film.. and i did not like the film so much.. i mean it was good .. but k2h2 had something which makes me sit and watch it every time i feel like.. but not kalho na ho.... and i had such big hopes from kabi alvida.. and it all came crashing down.. teh music of teh movie had an awesome pathos mixed with it.. so listening to them.. i really got my hopes up.. but i guess.. u cud not justify maya's and shahrukhs character... but it was a very good attempt.. and i can get the feel of the movie.. just the way u wanted it to b.. but the execution had some thing lacking.. i am sorry.. i am putting my real feelings.. but all ur movies has an emotional click.. which i can always feel.. (probably bcoz i am also very emotionally moved at times..) ok.. i have all my hopes up for ur next movie.. "do ur best " dont get carried away by what the other ppl want.. make teh movie ezactly the way u want it to.. just like u did in k2h2.. and i am sure u willcome out with flying colours.. also i very important request.. "please please cast madhuri dixit in any of ur movies.. i think the talent in her is getting wasted as ppl are not able to get teh best out of her.. please please.. b4 its too late.. please get her in one of ur movie.. and i hope u also agree she is teh best actress indian cinema has ever produced.. u know what i was thinking.. y does not anyone make a comedy with madhuri and kajol.. both are such superb actresses.. imagine both being housewives. and kicking comedy to its best.. anyways thats a random thought,... I would liek to see more and more of ur films.. as a director.. so please make many movies.. they actually become part of our lives.. and we can relate to it at teh crossroads of our lives.. with lot sof best wishes... ur little fan..
Abhinav

all d best for all ur films. atleast now people will stop saying that u cannot make films without srk. but u should hav him associated wit all ur films. he is lucky for u n u know that. though "mnik" is going to b most successful film. we can wait for ur posts but d work for which ur going should b done properly. happ journey!!

lots of love,
angana

Karan,

just one more thing... I realise you have a lot on your own plate right now, plus it is none of my business, but... Is your most famous friend in the world all right? He appears to be craving for attention a tad too much to consider it healthy. He is an adult, he knows what he is doing and why, I suppose. It's just that even looking at him breaks my heart, I wish I could give him a hug and tell him to relax... Tell him: "You don't have to try so hard for people to love you. You have them at hello;)" Could you do that on my behalf? ;))

Koffee and Kissess,

Thank you soooooooooo much, Karan! You are the greatest! I knew you were the only one who could ever bring SRK and Kajol together again! Thank you so so so much!!! They are the only magical jodi on and off screen, they are the best and only they rule Bollywood! It's a shame we had to wait more than 7 years for them to come back again!!!

I cannot wait for MNIK! PLEASE MAKE THE BEST OUT OF THIS CHANCE AND LET SRK and KAJOL HAVE MANY AMAZING AND WONDERFUL SCENES TOGETHER!!! We are dying to see them together again!

Thank you for this great blog! It's always a pleasure to read your messages! :D

God bless you forever!

I. M. from Germany

kajol kajol kajol i love u so much

karan i love u

srk i love u


mervat from k s a

good luck karan in all your life

Karan -

I can't wait until My Name is Khan releases! I love Kajol and Shahrukh together! WOW! You do have a busy year! Kajol is my favorite actress. She just lights up the place. Shahrukh is my second favorite actor (my first is Ajay Devgan).

Karan I wish i could at least take a picture with you. I live about an hour away from Miami and I didn't get to see you guys shoot for Dostana!

I really wish I could meet you!

Lots and lots and lots of love,
Araliya


P.S. - I think the title "Wake Up Sid!" sounds kind of... it sounds like a bad film. It sounds common. It sounds like Krazzy 4 - a bad film with bad effects. I hate it! By the way - I love you!

Wish each and every one of the movies being produced do excellently well! Wish you all the best! Oh and please don't have a lull in the blogging!You could fit in half an hour a week for this,can't you?

I am feeling very good to be part of your Blog..... why it drag me to write coz I like your films, although in Pakistan we watch these movies on dvd n really miss on Cinema.............its seems bad luck for us to miss your movies at theatre as know the probs of distribution n india-paki relations.
Anywyz kafi bol chuka hoon..........at the end really wanna say good luck to "wake up sid" as RK in the film, i think the best ever newcomer in the Hindi cinema, n it will be a gr8 chemistry between your production n RK.

n when Koffee With Karan ! is coming!
TC

"Wake up Sid"...whats in a name Karan!!!....the movie has to be good...look at Jaane Tu...if the movie is good..it can become a hit..even if there are no stars in it...the word of mouth publicity is the strongest publicity in bollywood now i feel...look at page 3..kaho naaa...pyaar hai...iqbal..

the title is cool & u know tht...the script has to be equally good!!!

Hi,
I would like you to tell about something ....The action of the film the Karan , on which all we wait partly she will happen in New York. The film will tell as I judge not about the threat the terror, and about isolation of nothing not owing people from the environment, to which as they judged surely they belonged. I got the ticket to America long ago to this in the birthday present. I adore, the cinema, music, trips, different cultures. It to give can now, that and the miraculous present. More wrong nothing. The time we alone and our close we be able to not to recognize our needs and preferences. And this only, that is why that we do not dedicate enough the time to listen the own heart. We should remember, that not he will give to learn all. Not all will give to tidy oneself the reason. You should feel some things and matters the heart. But to the thing.. America, the country of the dreams of the people millions. The legend of wealth, prosperity, tolerance and possibility. He was the aim of the trip New York, Wasztngton and Niagara. Before I however reached to New York I stopped in London. It was magnificently, then the city bewitched me. I could boldly say that I had left the piece of the heart there .Odd nothing is place of the spotkań of many cultures, yet. And such sweet snobbery beats from him to this. I spent several days there and did not have the readiness to leave. The time came however to y to get to the airplane and to reach to the aim of the trip at last. The flight the airplane bored me terribly, I was excited. America, New York, I heard so many about this city. I wanted to see this „Eden” at last I Had the reserved room in the hotel on Broadway, it had beautifully to be. The airplane landed on the airport JFK after several hours of the flight happily at last. Leaving the airplane I felt not swojo. This feeling accompanied me by the whole period of the stay in the USA then. This trip the present was this, very expensive and I I did not know oneself before to gladden. I did not know to fall in love this city, it was strange to me. Only what stuck me in the memory from this trip this the fact, that famous „twins”last moments were this. 11.09 came then. This country and this city it be able to not the feeling to show me. It be able to not anything mistresses to spread before me shoulders. When I did not feel sadness from there I left. I went not long then to tour locks over Loarą and Paris. Am I min. Muzeologiem from the education, well now he can be more splendid than running after museums? And again disappointment, all the run nothing Marathon runners we „numbering”next exhibitions and museums. Luwr, all were delighted. All , but not I. I preferred , to run away przewodnikowi to sit in the cafe , to drink good the coffee and to listen Edith Piaf song. He this was for me Paris , locks were nightmarish. I preferred walks after Montmartre than museum halls. They were mine the husband looked at me and did not know what to think about this. He was such exact, all had to according be to the plan. Nothing madness. And as to tour Paris here? Canary Island, Rome, Venice were many different places then. All remembered miles these trips , they were delighting these here and there. And I felt embarrassed. These alone things did not gladden me , what them. From museums, bustling streets, I great cities preferred silence, intimate family atmosphere. That is all this I could not there find. But I did not know this feeling then to name and understand. I thought eventually :it probably not is with me well. I when remember my trips today I see this completely differently. This is not the size of cities or the people number did not answer me but the culture of these societies. Egypt was then although dangerous appeared me charming. When I toured The valley Kings, when I touched the walls of the tomb of one of Pharaohs at last I felt the adrenaline. But I felt in Turkey the best. Every time my airplane landed in Stambule subconsciously I thought , I am at the home. He and is not at all this neither small country neither small city. And the culture so different from this in what I grew. I adore the scent of the streets of Stambułu, local dialects, people. I am afraid not to walk after streets there alone , although the woman herself should not too walk away from the main arteries. I had mnóstwo friends there, all were muslim. I remember to today , how heavily it was fasting in The ramadhan to survive us the day ( it was foolishly to eat me when they fasted). And as the supper tasted in the team of family and friends after dusk. I even began to like the loud voice of the Imam which calling in his faithful to the prayers woke me every the day about the dawn. Although I like long pospać. Muslim -dark eyes , black hair , dark skin this has to equal terrorism. More wrong nothing. They were among my acquaintances and Turks and Kurdowie. One were more different radical in their less the belief. One more as different Europeans still lived they took care of traditions. But all were unusually sincere, devoted, warm and loyal. You should know this environment understand what this is the „brotherhood”. They always kept the given word, and word, honour, family and friendship she meant more than the life. I could leave them 100.000 dollars ask about they did not take care and I could be sure, that when in the year after I will not come back they will wait for me. I could ring in the centre of the night that I came just flying announced and do not have had the room. And all hotels are full. And I could be certain, that Ismail will ring to the brother , this to the cousin, that to the uncle friend and they surely will find some room for me . Nobody left anyone ever without the help . We think Muslim = the terrorist. And and just old Ismail showed me such mosques what nobody watches (I think about tourists). And old muslim, he took care about me stupid Christian woman, when I set out me alone to tour completely strange the country .This man and showed me the world of Islam about what, I only read and he translated his religion and philosophy. Trying simultaneously to understand mine. This is so and all ot, waiting anything in instead it is not. Logically the thing take this America , Italia or France they should be me closer and however it happened differently. Cut , which he should be me strange, which he should throw aside me, he accepted me how your daughter. He the time for happens so, that infatuated stereotypes and we strenghtens, repeated thoughtlessly utartymi slogans not be able to the situation well estimate. Before we now will undertake somebody's criticism, like we will accuse about anything let's think and listen our heart. I know today that I would never give back this part of my heart which I left for ever among mosques to nobody and nowhere. People never speak not speeches never and something is in this. I travel alone today but and this has its advantages. I the future year hope I fly however to India, will I leave the particle oneself maybe and there?. If meanwhile walks about utarte thoughtless stereotypes , I understood this the best when I felt on the own skin directly. I do not have typical European beauty. I am not the beautiful blonde about the white skin how the paper . Hand over inversely , I have tawny complexion and black hair. The only colour of eyes betrays my origin. Usually pieczołowiciej checked however my baggage is always on airports not less. And on Teneryfie , where I flew with The office from Austria all 120 persons got on the greeting the flower of the lotus. They could was pleased natives hospitality their singing and music. All only not I. In this time I gave in the detailed customs control. I fit them rather on the potential terrorist than God the owing tourist. Taking under the attention my appearance and the full passport of visas with half-moon and star...They could draw out the conclusion only one ... I also drew out , the lack they the all manners and more reliable education.
...

'Wake Up Sid' sounds like a very un-mainstream-ish type of film. In a good way though.
Can't wait for all those films you talked about to come out in the cinemas :)
I think all your films, even though they might not always be like-minded with the junta, make a point. & that's the purpose of films, right? To make a point, to tell a story. The characters in it might not always do what people would want them to do but that's why it's your story & not their's.
Um, yeah..that's all :)
Please hurry those films along :)
Take care,
x

u could have just talked about urself... that's what we wish u'd do
of course all this is abt urself but u know, give us some piece of Karan de human being. sry if i'm askin for too much or if just isn't ur type but i was just suggesting :D
anyways it's always nice to hear abt ur work, we know u're totally dedicated to it! God bless!

bang on
srk kajol and rani together
wowwwww

Brilliant post Karan!
I am really looking forward to namely-Wake up sid!- I love the TITLE! :D And great cast choice with Konkona, she is a fab actress. I am also looking forward to seeing the animation version of KKHH.. sounds sweet!
But OH my.. the one that I am easgerly awaiting is OBVIOUSLY MNIK with srk and Kajol.. The locations you have listed to shoot sound so amazing, very happy to see varied locations in America as well as India. Are you gonna be catching the winter in the US intentionally?
Wish you alot of luck in the shooting of the film.. hope to hear more about it.
Oh and also.. if you can share some pix of any of the locations of sets as a teaser that would be awesome.
Anyhow.. keep blogging and bless xx

Maryum Iqbal UK

Oh another thing..heard before by someone that Rahat Ali Khan may be also singing for MNIK?? Is that true?

Maryum Iqbal UK

ok here goes....
wake up Sid seems intresting esp coz of the cast...
will watch koochie koochie hota hai jus because of Rani
MNIK ..hmm lookin fwd to it but if news are to b believed that srk will play a guy mistaken for a terrorist or sth like that it might end up looking like rendition(do look into that)
KANK has been ur best movie so far in terms of story and how it progresses and under the glam we see subtle real ppl ... job well done...sum ongs cud have been avoided though but nevertheless gud one...God knows how many times have i watched it must be over 50
after mnik wud definetly like you to try out sth different with Rani...prolly a negative character or why not in MNIK(just a suggestion)

P.S. dunt worry we are here to lissen to u and whatever u have to say to lighten you up and refresh you whenever needed

ouuuuuu, nice. MNIK will be coming to DC. Brilliant! But it won’t be out till late next year, eh? *sigh* so far away. It is one of my most, most, most awaited film of next year. I wish you a smooth sailing ahead.

I hope the Saif and Kareena starrer has a solid script and won’t just try to bank on the pair’s coupleness. People will still focus on that. It is coming under your banner so I hope it is good and successful.

Good luck with all your films and the traveling and the pre production work.
Take care.
nicha

1. SAIF-KAREENA starrer : can't wait

2. MY NAME IS KHAN : interesting

3. WAKE UP SID: RANBIR YES KONKANA NOOOOOOOO
4.DOSTANA : plzzzzzzzzzzz no. can't watch priyanka who gave hamming a whole new meaning

Cannot stand arrogant Kareena who with one Hit thinks she is no.1 - no way in hell. She can't act or dance. Her head is too big for her body.

Ash, Rani, Priety are still the top 3.

Pls do films with other stars - Amir Khan and Ash, Hrithik, Sanjay Dutt, Akshay K, Ajay Devgun.

Hi Karan:

I am looking forward to the filming of My Name Is Khan in U.S.A. I went to KANK shooting two years ago and enjoyed watching you, Shah Rukh and Kajol.

Oops, regarding my previous comment: I enjoyed watching you, Shah Rukh and Rani.

hi karan.....a;m fatima....from iran....

who find the magic love in shahrukh and kajiol eyes...

thank you karan....for being so much kind ....and atlast u told us somthing about the lovely"MY NAME IS KHAN"

we all waited for seven years to see the real and the magic love in srkajol 's eyes....

and now there is just 3 months ....and we will think about your film ....and shahrukh....and kajol....in each minets ...of each hiurs ....of each days of these months.....

.....have a good travell...and i hope the next travel...shahrukh and kajol...come with you...

WE ARE WAITING..............................

hi karan

good line-up. how abt a film with ABHISHEK-KAREENA-SAIF . all three are great actors and have wacky sense of humour. please make a light-hearted entertainer with this combo. it will be one hell of a riot. all my friends when we talk we discuss some interesting pairings and this trio tops our list

hi karan,my best wishes 4 all ur films n i really hope u ll direct mnik soooooooo well that even after the film is over the audience still wants it to go on.......n on.....

wishing u great travelling......overfilling ur plate wth good luck,good wishes,god's blessings,n all the best best best of everything..

Wish you all the best for your movies. I'm sure they'll do really well and you'll be able to take Dharma Productions to new heights. Thank you for entertaining us all with your wonderful movies.
"Wake up Sid" is a really nice name. Very different and interesting. Hope it does well and can't wait for My Name is Khan.
All the best Mr. Johar.

It sure is a complicated world out there for you guys esp with the 2 face life that you lead...different at home and the moment you step out you wear a different face mask 4 the world..Is it not??
Your blogs would appear more interesting if you could include some interactions with the readers...acknowledge some of them...Comeon...you are so very creative...u dont have to be told how to make this more interactive.
I was watching Kabhi alvida naa kehna on tv...and i felt like SIlsila this was a movie made before its time..also it lacked the depth in many places..The last scene b.w SRK and Rani was not at all appealing..Probably a lot more is expected from you..esp after movies like Kal ho na ho!!
Good luck 4 future

Respected Karan,

As usual your ardent supporter and admirer, I feel so happy that there are five films that are going production ways, really excited for you. Wake up Sid! is the fantastic title, please keep the title as it is. It will be going to be superhit movie, I think so and believe also and not only that if I may say all your five upcoming movies will be superhit and huge commercial success. Take care and I will be waiting for the day when I can meet with you. Till then bye. Good wishes.

Sanjay Pandey

Dear Karan,
Lots of best wishes for all your upcoming movies. Dostana sounds a bit cliched but lets wait n see. Wake Up Sid sounds Kool. A thriller idea from you sounds interesting.
Cant wait for My Name Is Khan, bring it on as fast as possible.
Keep up the Good Karma at Dharma.
Love n Luck
Sreetama

P.S. Isn't Yashraj Film also making an animated Canine 'love story'??? competition or just coincidence???

Hi KJo..
I ve been a huge fan of all ur films-- KKHH, K3G(ahhh the number of times I ve watched this films with my other british-indian friends, i was 15-16 when it released and we were nuts over it), KHNH, KANK(a bold attempt that I know wasn't that well received but stuff like that does happen--ppl may like to stay in denial and think it doesn't but it does) and now My name is Khan--i can't wait SRK & Kajol are my fav on screen pair--they are amazingly magical--SRK doesnt have the same chemistry with rani or preity as he does with kajol--perhaps MHN with sush came close--anyways I am sooo looking forward to MNIK.....
ohh and KWK was amazing--I've watched both seasons and to be honest even if the guests weren't my favs you still made the show so enjoyable--the srk ones were all my favs, and the ones with abhi--my friends and I still crack up over the 'I am ready to do anything...." joke...i was an abhi fan after Yuva but ur show made me adore him--so if you can do let him know that..
anyways good luck loaction hunting--
God Bless...
xoxo

Just one request...would it be possible to call your next directorial venture just 'Khan' instead of 'My Name Is Khan'.

I, of course, am a nobody and I know zilch about the script so far, but I think a single-worded title like 'Khan', would make a much stronger yet restrained impact. 'My Name Is Khan' seems a little gimmicky.

Looking forward to all your films! Good luck...

Hi Karan

When will u be working with a r rahman? I've heard u loved the music of Dil Se but when will u be working with india's biggest music composer?

thriller with saif ali khan and kareena kapoor is the one i am looking forward. both power house performers. kareena is THE BEST. from cute and bubbly to intense to sexy the only actress who can carry off any character with effortless ease.
also as a couple they are awesome. but please take care of the shoot. if u become busy with my name is khan then u couldn't concentrate on this film. closely mopnitor this film

best wishes
sangini

v true i too feel change mnik to something better coz v already hve the best mnikaran......ek bhut hai.....

please do ur best on MNIK.. make it a truly good film just like kkhh.. very honest and touching.. let me tell ya one thing.. i watch kkhh every weekend n i never ever end the film without a single tear.. the movie was brilliant and a really feel like the characters are alive..
i keep thinking about the movie the first time i watched it.. n immediately become a big fan of KAJOL..

i miss her alot.. really.. she is a very special actor.. n a very special human being too.. among other actrsses,, i am sure that she is the most unconcious about her career.. never care about making it to the top.. but she get it somehow without even her wanting it..
i luv her for that.. jus tell her to keep that way.. n we'll love her forever.. though i realy wanna see more of her..

sorry.. when talkng about kadz.. its kinda hard to stop.. but karan.. it feels very good to know that youre reading this..

ok.. thats for now.. i surely write sumthin again..
just wanna let u know.. that i am happy becoz there is sumone like u in this world..making my dream come true

Dear Karan,

I am really looking forward to "My Name Is Khan". I love all your films and I believe that also this one will be great. Shah Rukh will act perfectly like always. Please, as Magda said before: Tell him we love him and support him and he should take care of himself, make more holidays than he did this year. It seems for me that he has a very stressful time without any break. I want to see him happy and healthy, also when this means that he will shoot less films. Give him a big hug and wish him all the best of the world from us.

So back to topic: Also for you, a very big hug from all your German fans (specially from me), thanks for all the great films you have made and I wish you all the best for your future and present projects.

Believe me you will read my opinion about the music of "Dostana" when I will have listened to it. But I think, you said it was made by Vishal and Shekar, it can only be great. I always liked the music of your films, except a few songs and I think that is okay. So dear Karan have a great time, despite working.

Take Care
Kathy

THANK GOD! AT LAST I SUCCESFULLY FOUND YOUR BLOG. NOW I WILL GO THROUGH YOUR BLOGS AND WILL WRITE MY OPINION. BLOG’S NAME “MY NAME IS KARAN” SUITS YOU. WAITING TO READ INTERESTING AND HUMOURS WRITE UPS IN YOUR BLOG.GOOD LUCK.--JAYA

Hi Karan,

Your blog is really insightful and very humorous to read, I love all the "real" and sarcastic remarks, I really enjoy it! I have read Niranjan's blog a few times, he is a fabulous writer... tell him, he needs to blog more often. I'm sooo excited for Tarun's film, he was such a hardworking guy... somehow I imagine it will a very well made film. Ayaan was such a sweetheart, I was so impressed he was so young... to have this kind of an opportunity at 24, is really remarkable of you. Nikhila absolutely loved all of you and she has even started to read your blog. Your My Name is Khan will be something we'll all look forward to... New York loved you and you can never shoot there too many times.... Best of Luck and hopefullly she will have a chance to work you again in the future.
Best Regards,
Erica

Dear Karan,

You sound happy in your update, may many positive chi come your way.

Very glad that you mentioned Konkona as one your leads - she is very underrated as an actress. She is the next best thing after Kajol in the industry currently as far as ACTING is concerned.

As for MNIK - what can I say - perfect news for all SRKKAjol fans, read universal audience! Late 2009 is too far away, though, can't you expedite the production?

Others mentioned about you doing a film with Aamir - that's a great idea. When you do that, you shld cast Kajol against him - if Kunal had blown us away with their chemistry even in a sombre movie FANAA, imagine the wonders you could pull matching these two in comedy scenes.

Both are superb actors with knack of comedy, though Kajol's has not been fully explored by directors sans you in K3G. Not taking away herfriendship with SRK, I think Kajol has mutual respect towards Aamir as a fellow actor, and we don't have to worry about their work relationship, now that Kunal & Adi had thawed them in Fanaa.

May Dharma Productions create a history in new e
