Happy Birthday KJo: We Want More

Wishing Karan Johar loads of love and success on his 41st birthday. Here's hoping this year he delivers on his promise to break new ground as he has done with the much acclaimed 'Bombay Talkies'.

MUMBAI: Bollywood’s most loved director Karan Johar celebrates his 41st birthday after giving many hits as a director. We have seen Karan Johar as a film director, producer, screenwriter, costume designer and television host.

How many know Karan the actor? The other side of KJo as an actor, the extremely multi-talented Mr. Johar was seen in a cameo in ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ as Shah Rukh Khan’s friend Rocky.

He also played cameo in movies like ‘Main Hoon Na’ where he appears in the end-credits of the film with a board in his hand, as a costume designer of Shah Rukh Khan.

Karan also gave special appearances in movies like ‘Home Delivery: Aapko… Ghar Tak’, ‘Salaam-e-Ishq’, ‘Alag’, ‘Om Shanti Om’, ‘C Kkompany’, ‘Fashion’ and ‘Luck By Chance’.

Karan Johar is noted as one of the few directors in recent times who had managed to put Hindi films in a global spotlight. He was one of those four distinguished directors, who gave a tribute to the Indian Cinema on its centenary year with ‘Bombay Talkies’ and which has found its way at Cannes festival this year. KJo has been a discerning director-producer who excelled at family dramas and romantic comedies. But with a breakthrough short film in the portmanteau collection of ‘Bombay Talkies’ we see the rise of a filmmaker willing to take a chance and experiment with subjects considered radical in the given hindi film space.

We wish KJo a very Happy Birthday and expect a lot more for the very talented man in years to come.
