Kalank was one of the most-awaited films of the year, but on its release, it couldn’t fulfill the expectations of audiences. It was a multi-starrer that had Madhuri Dixit Nene, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, Varun Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt, Kunal Khemmu and Aditya Roy Kapur. After the failure of Kalank, Karan Johar chooses to accept it and talk about it.

Speaking to a leading daily, Karan said, “To me, when Kalank fails, it is my failure. I’m the older one, I’m the wiser one. I’m the more knowledgeable person about what works and what doesn’t. If the film has faltered, it is largely my responsibility and my blame. Of course, no one person can take the blame, but I choose to because I felt that the material was something I was aware of for not one year but 15 years.”

Kalank was supposed to be made by his dad Yash Johar and the story was with them since 15 years and finally, when Karan chose to make it, it didn’t turn out to be best. Speaking about that, producer Karan said, “There are two ways I could have gone about this. I could have sunk in this failure or I could have questioned, ‘Why?’ Or I could have said, ‘Why did this happen and let me learn from this.’ Let this be a new 2.0 feeling where I am a lot more analytical. I am putting my projects through a lot more trials and tribulations before it is out there to an audience. When you fail and learn from it, that to me is a success. I will never look at Kalank as a failure. I will look at it as a success because it has taught me how not to fail like this.”

Varun Dhawan, who is close to Karan, plays an important role in making Karan accept it, as the filmmaker adds, “Varun came to me and said, ‘Karan, let’s make this up to the audience and to the studio which backed us. Let us, the same team get together and make it up to them by giving them a winner. Let us not get cowed down by this failure. Instead, let us move on to something more positive.’ I have humongous respect for Varun.”

Now the next directorial for Karan Johar is Takht and all his fans are waiting to see how that film turns out to be. Stay tuned to CineBlitz for more updates on this front.
