Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, who is leading a battery of Dharma films at the ongoing 12th Marrakech International Film Festival, says that his idea of love is something that you can find in films "like Kaghaz Ke Phool and Devdas. I like love which has a lot of pain. I don't know why. "
On whether he is dating someone or not, he says, "I am single and not ready to mingle. I am wedded to work and my kind of love doesn't exist." Three of Karan Johar's films will be screened at the Marrakech International Film Festival, which kicked off on November 30 to go on till December 8.
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, released in 2001, was screened on the opening night. On Dec 2, two of Karan's latest films- Agneepath and Student Of The Year- was screened. The director was accompanied by veteran actor Rishi Kapoor for Agneepath screening, while for SOTY the filmmaker and his cast- Sidharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan- were present.
He is happy with the selection of his movies. "It's a great tribute for the Indian film fraternity to be honoured at an international platform such as this. The fest also has a special emotional connect with me because my films, such as 'Kabhi Khushi...' have a vast audience in Morocco," the 40-year-old said in a statement.
As Hindi cinema completes 100 years in 2013, the film fest officials have decided to pay a tribute to the industry. As a special gesture, they will screen some movies that made a mark this year as well as in the past.
