The recent entry into the list is of director Karan Johar, who will be see as a bad boy in Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming movie ‘Bombay Velvet’. He sure is one of the surprise elements in the film.
Karan Johar says, “For me, being an actor was both surreal and exciting. And I had no problem being directed by Anurag. Our cinematic sensibilities are completely contrasting, so opposites attracted in the best way possible. I feel he has taught me a lot; it was like being in film school. I enjoyed being on the other side of the camera.”
