- Karan Johar highlighted the significance of conviction in filmmaking.
- He referenced SS Rajamouli’s films to give an example.
- “Logic doesn’t matter in a film,” he said.
Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar recently shared his thoughts on storytelling, highlighting the significance of conviction in filmmaking. Speaking with Komal Nahata on his YouTube channel, Game Changers, Johar referenced SS Rajamouli’s films to illustrate how conviction can outweigh logic in cinema.
When asked what takes precedence when logic is set aside, Johar explained, “Conviction is very important. If you look at anything, especially if you analyse the journey of the best filmmakers, you’ll see that the biggest hits are built on conviction. Logic doesn’t matter in a film. Take any film by Rajamouli sir, for example. Where do you see logic? You only see conviction. And when conviction comes to the forefront, even the audience believes in it.”
He further elaborated, “Look at the biggest films — whether it’s Animal, RRR, or Gadar — these films are made with conviction. If you can defeat a thousand people with a single hand pump, that’s conviction, right? Anil Sharma believes that Sunny Deol can do this. That is pure conviction.”
Johar is currently preparing for the release of his production, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, set to hit theaters on April 18, 2025. Additionally, his Dharma Productions is backing several upcoming projects, including Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri with Kartik Aaryan and Kesari Chapter 2 starring Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan.
