The trailer of 'Baahubali' was unveiled here on Monday.

Talking about the factors he considers before lending support for a film, he said: "I'm a crazy child of Hindi films... watching them several times and I laugh, cry, sing, dance and get touched with the situations in the film.

"So when I read a script, I look for these same emotions as an audience. If a script touches me or entertains as an audience, I produce such films. I react to scripts not as a filmmaker but as a cinegoer."

Karan Johar said he loved latest movies 'Piku' and 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns'.
