Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar is known for his distinctive style in the industry, and during the Bawaal screening yesterday, he opted for a plain black suit. However, the director took to his Instagram account and shared that his mom advised him to wear outfits more suitable for his age.
He wrote in the caption: “Ma kehti hai ‘umar ho gayi hai… dhang ke kapde pehno….’ Mom, this simple suit is for you…. but my heart still wonders when will the vibrant colors leave me alone. Styled by the sophisticated @ekalakhani in a classic @goyalkanika, shot by the talented @sheldon.santos.”
Karan was spotted at the Bawaal screening, which stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in pivotal roles, and is set to release on Amazon Prime on July 21. He even shared his review about the film on his Instagram Stories, “Possibly the most unusual and original love story you have seen in the mainstream… directed with nuance, abandon, and yet so much restraint… it moved me in so many moments… a proud film for Sajid to back and for @primevideo to host, and the cherry on the cake is the career-best performance of @varundvn and @janhvikapoor… They are the heartbeat of Bawaal @niteshtiwari22 @nadiadwalagrandson,” he said.
