SRK has been one of my best experiences in cinema ever; I can’t wait to repeat – Karan Johar

Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar have known each other for nearly three decades now. The friendship which started on the sets of Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in 1995, went through troubles, turbulence, and test of time. But nothing deterred KJo or SRK's spirits. Over the years they collaborated on multiple projects, with Karan making his debut as a director in 1998 with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai featuring Shah Rukh followed by Kal Ho Na Ho, My Name Is Khan. In later years, KJo and SRK have belted out films as joint producers but it has been a while these two vowed the audience together. The last we saw, Khan made a fleeting appearance in KJo's directorial - Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016). As of now, Karan is busy with the post-production of his next film, admitting that he is really keen to team up with his bestie.

“Well, now that I am back from my birthday break (in London, UK), I will take all those decisions but I know one thing. Shah Rukh has been one of my best experiences in cinema ever and it’s something that I can’t wait to repeat,” shared KJo, in an interview it a leading daily.

Expressing his excitement on sharing the screen space with his BFF SRK again, KJo remarked, "I just can’t wait to share cinema space with Shah Rukh again. In the last few years, we co-produced films together such as Student Of The Year (2012) and Dear Zindagi (2016) but now I can’t wait to collaborate with him in a full-fledged manner because I know whenever we do something together, it will be extraordinary and amazing."

Karan, added that SRK “isn’t just a part of my career” but "a part of my life as well." "Shah Rukh, Gauri and the kids – Aryan, Suhana and AbRam – are my immediate family. I won’t even use the word ‘dosti (friendship)’ . Apart from my dad (late Yash Johar) and mum (Hiroo Johar), I consider Shah Rukh and Adi (Aditya) Chopra’s families my other families in Mumbai. They are always going to be in every part and beat of my life,” said the film-maker.

Now, when is the big announcement?
