Kajol on limits of women

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has enjoyed immense success in cinema and OTT alike, believes that content is powerful these days and there is nothing wrong living in the grey. Karan along with Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, the lead pair of his upcoming film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, was interacting with students and mediapersons at an event as part of the ‘India’s International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) Back To School’ series. “I do believe that the content today is definitely broadening the human spectrum of relationships and pushing the envelope, by not sugar-coating it or doing puff pieces of love and romance. We are showing the grey areas, and you have to know, especially as students, that life is way beyond black or white,” said the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai director. “Walking the path of grey every day, it is not a bad thing, because grey is the actual representation of your vulnerable side, of your true side. And I think whether it’s OTT platforms or new-age cinema, all of them expose the vulnerabilities of human beings and that is the strength of our content today,” he added. Also starring Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem is slated to hit the theatres July 28.
