How Khan came on board in 'Kuch Kuch Hota hai'
After hearing that several actors had turned down the role in Johar's first film, the Bhaijaan of Bollywood offered to listen to the script because his sister, Alvira Khan Agnihotri, had praised his script. Johar wrote, "I was perplexed and said, 'But you are in the second half,' you haven't heard it? He said, 'I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don't do this movie,' and that's how [Khan] was in KKHH."
Details about Khan-Johar's upcoming collaboration
According to Pinkvilla, Khan and Johar are set to reunite for a big-budget action film called The Bull, directed by Vishnuvardhan (Shershaah). The filming is scheduled to start in February 2024, with a potential Eid 2025 release. However, the exact release date will be confirmed once production begins. Teasing about the upcoming film, Johar wrote on Wednesday, "Also 25 years later we will finally have a story to tell again...not saying any more than that happy happy birthday."
