Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor to produce film starring Emraan Hashmi

Karan Johar has made headlines recently with the release of his fifth directorial venture, Student of the Year. Now, after the tremendous success of his coming-of-age campus romance, director-producer Karan Johar is drawing up plans for his next project. As per reports, the Dharma Productions chief will tie up with producer Ekta Kapoor for the upcoming project. Apparently, the film is a love-hate story that will star actor Emraan Hashmi in the lead. “Ekta and I had been deliberating for a while to work together, but we were sure we wanted to work on something different and edgy. This script was perfect. I’d call it a love-hate story. In fact, it is one of the most interesting scripts I’ve read in recent times. Both the protagonists are strong characters and have a great opportunity to perform,” said Karan Johar.

While the film’s female lead and director is yet to be confirmed, Karan Johar seems excited to be working with Emraan. "I always liked him from before. I liked him in Once Upon A Time in Mumbai, The Dirty Picture, I think he really suited the role so well. For this film (untitled) the script suited him... it is different for him and yet it suited him tremendously. I am really very excited about it," said Karan.

Previously, Karan Johar has directed several films including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), My Name Is Khan (2010) and Student of the Year (2012). Apart from that, he has also produced several films under his Dharma Productions banner. Stay tuned for more on this multifaceted filmmaker and his plans for the future!
