Karan Johar is credited for introducing star kids into Bollywood and giving them the perfect launch pad. The ace filmmaker recently launched late Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughter Janhvi Kapoor with his film ‘Dhadak’. KJo will also launch Chunky Panday’s daughter Ananya Panday with the ‘Student of the Year 2’ co-starring Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria. Interestingly, Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara Ali Khan is also working with his home banner Dharma Productions in the film ‘Simmba’. Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, who have become stars in their own right, were also launched by Karan in his film ‘SOTY’.


The ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ director is often called as the flag-bearer of nepotism as he is the man behind some of the most-high profile launches.

With three popular fresh faces-Janhvi, Sara and Ananya working in his films, fans are curious to know whom the ‘Takt’ director finds the most promising. Diana Penty, who is currently busy promoting her film ‘Happy Phirr Bhaag Jayegi’, asked Karan the same question on his radio show- ‘Calling Karan’. During a special segment on his radio show, in which celebs ask KJo a question, Diana put him in a spot and asked which of the newbies is most promising.

Karan somehow tried to get out of the tricky situation and avoided a direct answer. "Oh god! now that’s a tough question. How am I to answer that? They are three young new talents and I definitely think all three have bright careers. I don’t think that, that’s a fair question to ask me, Diana," KJo was quoted as saying by DNA.

On the professional front, Karan Johar will soon return with ‘Koffee With Karan 6’ on Star World. Gossip mills have been buzzing with the names of several jodis who would grace the first episode of KWK 6 but the ‘My Name Is Khan’ director has squashed all the speculations by saying that the team was yet to decide the pairings for the season.

Karan will also helm the multi-starrer epic drama ‘Takt’, which is rumored to go on floors next year. The film stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Janhvi kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Bhumi  Pednekar and Vicky Kaushal.
