Karan Johar quashes Kuch Kuch Hota Hai 2 rumours

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who recently celebrated 20 years of his debut film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) with Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji, has rubbished reports which suggested he was planning to make a sequel to the iconic film.

Johar took to his Twitter handle and, tagging a portal which had first reported the news about him writing the script for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai 2, wrote ‘No’. His one word statement seems to have put a full stop to all the rumours about KKHH 2.


Meanwhile, Karan Johar is gearing up to helm one of the most ambitious projects of his directorial career, Takht. As the title suggests itself, the period movie is based in glorious Mogul era.

Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Janhvi Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar and Anil Kapoor have been confirmed to play significant characters in the mega-budgeted project.

Takht is expected to mount the shooting floor in early 2019. It is scheduled to hit screens in 2020.

These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
