Keeping the Koffee With Karan-Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul controversy that put the cricketers under the scrutiny of BCCI, it has been a relatively great year for Karan Johar. The films that he produced under his banner Dharma Productions went on to do great business at the box office. He also announced his next directorial Takht last year. Karan’s last release Simmba co-produced with Rohit Shetty starring Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan has become one of the biggest blockbusters of 2018 and is still going strong at the theatres.

Simmba has crossed Rs 200 crore at the box office. In a recent interview with a leading portal, the filmmaker thanked Ranveer for his portrayal of Sangram Bhalerao in the film. He also spoke about his equation with Ranveer in the interview. Talking about Ranveer he said, “I loved Ranveer on the cover of India Today magazine. I love Ranveer. He is my go to person for everything. He is very flamboyant and that's something that he shows to the public. He is always this person, he is originally very flamboyant. He is my hero."

They are amazing actors and are really good on screen." We are sure Ranveer must be very happy hearing such praise from Karan for him.
