MUMBAI:

Director Karan Johar, who teams up with TV tycoon Ekta Kapoor in her next home production C Kkompany, says he cannot refuse any offer from her.

“Ekta is a sweetheart. I can never say no to her. I don’t want to divulge any details about the film. Ekta will tell you what I’ve to do,” Karan said.

Added Ekta, “C Kkompany will have Karan and also Mahesh Bhatt making appearances. I’m also there. The awards committees are going to have a tough time next year.”

Ekta ventured into filmmaking with Kucch To Hai and Krishna Cottage. Last year she co-produced the box office hit Shootout At Lokhandwala with Sanjay Gupta.

This won’t be Karan’s first acting assignment. He started as a child actor in Anand Mahendroo’s Doordarshan serial Indradhanush, and then played Shah Rukh Khan’s nerdy friend in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. More recently he had a cameo in Sujoy Ghosh’s Home Delivery and a voice-on-telephone part in Nikhil Advani’s Salaam-e-Ishq. However, Karan refutes recent reports that he is acting in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion.

Karan has an extremely busy year ahead. Not only is he neck-deep researching for his next

directorial venture titled Khan, he’s also heavily into chatting up celebrities thanks to his reputation of a glorious gabber from Koffee With Karan. — HNS
