Karan Johar visits multiplexes, moved by fan support
Director
Karan Johar, who headed directly to multiplexes here
Sunday after returning from Berlin to see the
audience response to his film My Name Is Khan,
says he was moved by the support and positive
response from audiences.
"It's very heartwarming. A filmmaker's biggest dream
is that his film connects with his audience. I am
thrilled, ecstatic and literally folding my hands
and saying thank you (to all fans)," Johar said at
Fun
Cinemas,
Andheri (West).
"I won't say anything beyond the film. In the film,
Rizwan Khan (the protagonist) says, 'We shall
overcome' and I think we are successful," he added.
The film got into trouble when Shiv Sena launched a
protest against it after its lead actor
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
pro-Pakistan stance and tried to disrupt the
screening in Mumbai and other parts of the country
as well.
But Shah Rukh fans gave the thumbs down to the Shiv
Sena by thronging cinema halls across
India
Friday to watch the movie.
Johar was in Berlin for the red carpet premiere of
My Name Is Khan.
