Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham<\/p>\nFilmmaker Karan Johar has addressed ongoing speculation around a sequel to his 2001 blockbuster Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, opening up about rumours of a second instalment. Speaking on On Call with Sonal Kalra for The Right Angle, Karan clarified that there are no plans for K3G 2 or any reworking of his ambitious period drama Takht.<\/p>\n
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham<\/p>\n
Released in 2001, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham remains one of Bollywood\u2019s most iconic family dramas, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Amitabh Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan. The film\u2019s enduring popularity, Johar noted, lies in the nostalgia it continues to evoke across generations.<\/p>\n
\u2018Every film has its flaws\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n
While acknowledging that K3G was not without flaws, Karan emphasised that the film’s emotional legacy is something he would not want to disturb. “So I\u2019m glad that I have this platform, and I\u2019m glad that I\u2019m speaking with you to clarify that there is no K3G2, and there is no derivative of Takht being made. I would never make K3G 2\u2014not because K3G was the best film ever made, not at all. Every film has its flaws, but what K3G has in abundance is nostalgia. Generations have grown up watching that film\u2014what they\u2019ve loved, what they haven\u2019t, what they\u2019ve cried about\u2014they still love the movie.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m very, very grateful to the universe that I got to create a film that continues to live on, and I\u2019m very proud and happy with it. But I would never tamper with that nostalgia or the love the film has, because you\u2019re setting yourself up for disaster when you make something like K3G 2,” he said.<\/p>\n
Karan also confirmed that Takht is not being revived at the moment, though he remains committed to the project. Calling it one of the strongest screenplays of his career, written by Sumit Roy, the filmmaker said he hopes to bring it to life in the future.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cSo yes, the truth\u2014the absolute truth\u2014is that there is no K3G 2, and there is no revival of Takht currently on the cards. But Takht is a film I will definitely make while I can still breathe and stand on my feet. I consider it one of the strongest screenplays developed, written by Sumit Roy\u2014full credit to him. I believe it is the best-written piece of work in my career, and I hope to make that film one day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Takht was announced in 2021 and featured a star-studded cast of Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Janhvi Kapoor, and Bhumi Pednekar, but faced delays due to COVID-19 and remains unreleased as of now. As for K3G, Karan’s stance is clear: the film will remain untouched, preserved in the nostalgia that made it a cultural landmark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filmmaker Karan Johar has addressed ongoing speculation around a sequel to his 2001 blockbuster Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[40489,146,60480,85,46,71383,170587,170588,157376,397],"class_list":["post-350557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-cinema","tag-entertainment","tag-htcity","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-kabhi-khushi-kabhie-gham","tag-kabhi-khushi-kabhie-gham-2","tag-kabhi-khushi-kabhie-gham-sequel","tag-karan-johar-wife","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
