Mohit reveals conversation with Karan Johar

Speaking at FICCI Frames on Wednesday, Mohit Suri recalled his conversation with Karan Johar after the release of Saiyaara. “I met Karan Johar after the film released, and he said, ‘Thank you for the film you made.’ Of late, we’ve been dividing the world of entertainment into South directors and movies. I don’t know why we do that. I personally am a fan of a lot of them. But all of them called when they saw the film, saying that they really liked it,” he shared.
