\"Karan Karan Johar<\/a> recently opened up about a mistake he made by supporting the 2017 film ‘OK Jaanu’, which starred Shraddha Kapoor<\/a> and Aditya Roy Kapur<\/a>. In a chat on the podcast, Karan admitted that going against his gut feeling led to the wrong decision, and ‘OK Jaanu’ is a clear example of that.The filmmaker spilled the beans with Jay Shetty<\/a> On Purpose that he had doubts about remaking Mani Ratnam\u2019s Tamil hit ‘O Kadhal Kanmani’. He recalled not being fully convinced about the idea from the start. \u201cIt is called ‘OK Jaanu’. Aditya and Shraddha just had a blockbuster called ‘Aashiqui 2<\/a>‘. They had already agreed to do the film, he said.”<\/p>\n

Karan Johar on films being remade <\/p>\n

The film was brought to Karan Johar as a ready-made remake with Shaad Ali directing it. But deep down, he still felt it wasn\u2019t the right choice.\u201cIn my heart, I had actually felt that, \u2018Should this film be remade?\u2019 Because it\u2019s so much about that moment. Can that moment be recaptured?”\u201cSomewhere, the magic of the original we couldn\u2019t recapture. And it was nobody\u2019s fault. But my instinct told me I shouldn\u2019t do it. And I did it. And that\u2019s when I realised I should listen to my instinct. I have gone wrong.” He added.<\/p>\n
