 Mumbai: Filmmaker Karan Johar whose much
awaited Shahrukh Khan starrer 'My Name is Khan' hits theatres
next month, confesses that the success achieved by Aamir
Khan's '3 Idiots' will be a difficult feat to match.
The film directed by Rajkumar Hirani has become the
highest grosser in the history of Indian cinema, beating the
last number one 'Ghajini' which again starred Aamir.
"'3Idiots' has become a barometer of box office
success. The (collection) figures are amazing. I don't think
any film will be able to match or even cross them," Johar told
PTI adding that comparisons between the two films was
inevitable.
"Comparisons with '3Idiots' is inevitable. But while
'3Idiots' is quintessential mainstream entertainment, 'My
name...' is completely different in genre and would attract a
different kind of audience," explained Johar.
Responding to frequent criticism that his movies are
based abroad so as to cater to the NRI audiences, Johar said
that the Indian diaspora are not aliens.
"NRIs are not aliens. They are more Indian and rooted
than us. There is no peculiar reason why my films are based in
foreign countries. It is just the structure of the story," the
37-year-old director-producer said. |
