I'm not versatile: Karan JoharKaran Johar is known for his lavish emotional dramas, but when it came
to remaking his father's action film "Agneepath", he gave full rein to
director Karan Malhotra. Versatility, he admits, is not his forte, and
he can only do human emotional dramas.
"I am not a versatile
filmmaker, I can do only one kind of film. I think, I can do human
emotional dramas, but I don't think I can pull off action films,
thrillers or do something which is completely edgy," Johar told an Oye
104.8 FM radio host.
"Like I can't make films like 'Gangs of
Wasseypur', 'Udaan', 'Taare Zameen Par', they are all good films. That's
my biggest limitation," he added.
However, the 40-year-old loves
his work, and feels his love for movies helps him avoid a feeling of
loneliness due to his bachelor status.
"My mother is the most
happy that I am not married, as she does not need to share her jewellery
with anyone," quipped the filmmaker when asked "Don't you want to get
married?"
But on a serious note, he added: "I just want to make
films... My office has become my family. People who work in my office
have become my world. I really don't feel the need for anyone."
He also admits that he is not as expressive as people think he is.
"The
truth is that I hold back! I don't express my feelings to anyone! When I
am hurt, I keep it to myself. Then after two to three years, it comes
out in some other situation," he said.
