Well, we already told you that it is not anyone amongst the Khans. Well, it’s not even Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, or Rajinikanth too. Then who is it? At the Jagran Film Festival, while interacting with the people, the director revealed who is the biggest superstar.

Karan says, “We have lost out a huge chunk of an audience because of the advent of multiplex cinema and other economic factors. This audience (loyal film watching audience) now just comes to watch a film once a year when BHAI’s‘ film is out on an Eid or Diwali holiday. The biggest superstar according to me in this country is a national holiday.”

He also adds, “We also have megastars. Salman Khan is a megastar; Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan are humongous stars. But that stardom with a national holiday is an unbeatable combination. We still live in a country where there is so much happening every day. We are very involved in our zone and it is only that national holiday or a Sunday where we decide to go and watch a film.”

The director is all geared up for his upcoming film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead roles. Pakistani actor Fawad Khan is playing a supporting role in the film. His film has landed it trouble as it stars Fawad, due to the recent disturbance going on at the India and Pakistan borders. ADHM will be releasing on October 28.
