In Rapid Fire with Bollywood Hungama, Karan Johar was seen in his elements, answering questions rapidly with a little bit of fire in it.

There are enough and more actors that keep saying no to us. We just want to keep make sure that we make films that get cast correctly and release properly. We always have the same stresses everybody else has but somehow people don't think that about.”
