Karan Johar's fancy for directing movies began with his initial work with Aditya Chopra, helping the director of the film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) with screenplay and lending a hand in direction. Karan then went on to craft his first film at the age of 25, titled Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in (1998). The film was a runaway success. Today, after directing Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and My Name Is Khan (2010) and producing a bunch of more films, Karan Johar has begun treading the small-screen way. Having first made an appearance on his talk-show Koffee with Karan, the director received a lot of critical acclaim for his TV-debut. The director made an appearance on the dance-reality show Jhalak Dikhla Ja as a judge with Madhuri Dixit and Remo D'Souza, and is currently judging the show India's Got Talent, with Kirron Kher and Malaika Arora Khan.
Student of the Year is Karan Johar's first film without his lucky charm and close-friend Shah Rukh Khan. This will also be Karan's first film with newcomers and is set apart from his previous directorial ventures. A youth-centric film in essence, Karan Johar has worked with the dialogue, screenplay, cinematography and editing for Student of the Year. The director has also choreographed the song titled Ratta Maar for the film, in the absence of a choreographer on the day the video for the same was shot.
The director is particularly keen on judging a singing show. As said by Karan Johar, "One thing I would love to sit back and watch is a singing show, but I really think I would be the wrong person to judge a singing show. I can judge singing on a very surface level, but I don't have the right expertise to judge it."
According to him, directing the second half of "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" was a lot easier even at the age of 25. The upcoming film also made the director nostalgic, bringing back memories of his first film. After Student of the Year, Karan Johar is considering directing films with mature themes. Sharing his thoughts on a Twitter post, Karan Johar claimed that working with 20-plus actors simply makes him feel older and it was time he started working more often with the older lot.
Karan Johar will pull the veil off his fifth directorial venture on the 19th of October. Titled "Student of the Year", the film will mark the director's first project without his lucky-star Shah Rukh Khan and will star three newcomers, Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.
