Karan Johar wants to correct ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’

The filmmaker, Karan Johar has expressed a desire to correct Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.

In an interview with ‘The Week’ he was asked if he feels that he should have produced a film differently.

The 51-year-old filmmaker said :“It is a tough question because I will hurt the person who made it. There are films that were emotional decisions.

“The only film I wish we had packaged differently was Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. I tried to bring commercial elements like big song sets and massive stars, but it is an intimate film.

“If I could make this film again, I will correct it.”

Then he continued, while defending the film:“People said I endorsed infidelity through Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), but I said you can’t endorse something that’s already sold out.

Karan has already expressed his regrets about Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna in the past.

He mentioned during a press event in 2016: "I think it's a flawed film. And I think the mistakes in that film are entirely mine.

“I think I tried to do two things; I tried to do something fresh, and interesting, and ground-breaking, but halfway through I also got scared.

“So just like my sun sign, which is Gemini, I became two people. And I think I should've just been one person, with one solid conviction."

He continued: "I'd written the characters very differently and then stars stepped in, and I started adhering to star imagery and persona, over and above core content.

“Like if you read the screenplay of Kabhi Alvida, it's infinitely superior to the film.

“I think I let many moments of that film down. Some parts were over-cast, some parts were opulent for no reason. It took away the intimacy and paved the way for the mainstream.

“The result is that it has a neither here nor there feeling. While some scenes in the film are very strong, and impactful, others are perhaps catering, which they shouldn't have."
