Karan Johar Urges Casting Directors To Cast Him In Movies; Says ‘I’ll Play Ananya Panday’s Father…’

Karan Johar recently requested the casting directors to approach him films as an actor. He promised that he would redeem his acting skills. The filmmaker, who came in front of the silver screen in a movie called Bombay Velvet, said that he was very proud of the movie. Karan shared that he is ready to play the role of Ananya Panday’s father onscreen. 

In an interview with Sucharita Tyagi, Karan said “I mean it from the bottom of my heart, I cannot tell you, I didn’t get a single offer after that film. I thought so many avenues would open up after that film and I’d have to say no to films. I try to subtly suggest my name in my company. I say, ‘This part is very exciting, I wish I could play it.’ Directors just change the topic.”

“I got really good reviews but I’m blowing my own trumpet because, in reality, nothing happened. I didn’t even get offered a bad film. I got offered no films. I really would like to say this to casting directors who are watching this, ‘Please, I really want to redeem myself. I’m very proud of Bombay Velvet and the endeavour that it was. But, I’d like to do a full-length role. Give me any role. I know I don’t have the trappings to play the lead but consider me. I’ll play Ananya’s father. I’ve reached that point where age is not an obstacle. As long as it’s a meaty part, a ‘supporting’ part, a ‘character artist’ part, I’ll do it,” he added.
