"Pehle aap" – Karan Johar tells buddy Aditya Chopra
Karan Johar is such a thick friend of director-producer Aditya Chopra that he has put his own project on the backburner for the sake of Aditya’s film.It is common knowledge that Shah Rukh Khan will work with Karan Johar in Khan and with Aditya Chopra in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi .
Karan’s film, starring SRK and Kajol , was to go on the floors in May. The director had already acquired SRK’s dates for the film. But it turned out that Aditya Chopra also wanted to shoot his film with SRK around the same time.
All Aditya had to do was ask Karan to give him SRK’s dates that the superstar had given for ‘Khan’. Without a second thought Karan gave the dates away.
Karan, who is not just a good friend of Aditya but also looks up to him as a filmmaker, says dates are a “minor issue” between friends.
In fact, Karan goes on to say in a media report that he is more excited about Aditya’s film than his own movie.
Aditya Chopra is returning to direction after a long gap of eight years with ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’. Karan’s film ‘Khan’ also marks his return to direction after Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna .
As long as ‘Khan’ does not go on the floors, Karan will be busy with his home production Dostana .
Well, he has already shown a glimpse of his real dostana with Adi.

SRK to mediate between Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra
Buzz is strong about Karan Johar not being happy with the price Yash Raj is offering him for distribution rights of his next, directed by protégé Tarun Mansukhani and that he and old pal, Aditya Chopra had a tiff over it. Their common pal, Shah Rukh Khan is playing mediator in all this claim industry sources.
"Every Dharma Productions film by Karan Johar has been distributed by Yash Raj worldwide. Though the rights price increased with every released film as they all went on to become super hits, it was still considerably low as compared to new players in the market – the corporate companies such as UTV or Eros or even big distributors like Ashtavinayak were willing to offer.
But due to his equation with Adi, Karan never thought twice about it, but now he is in two minds with a joint offer by Eros for the Abhishek Bachchan– Priyanka Chopra – John Abraham starrer directed by Tarun Mansukhani and for KJo’s SRK – Kajol starrer My Name Is Khan.
It is reportedly around Rs 175 crore (75 crore for the yet untitled Mansukhani film and 100 crore for MNIK). Eros had approached KJo through SRK," an industry source reveals.
"SRK'''s home production, Om Shanti Om was sold for close to Rs. 70 crore to Eros. SRK, during his trip to the UK for the Zee Carnival, met with the Eros big wigs wherein they put forth the proposal to him to put it up for KJo. SRK is learnt to have spoken to Karan regarding it and clearly telling him to put friendship on one side and business on the other.
The kind of money offered is almost more than double than what KJo would expect from Yash Raj for both his films. At the same time, SRK it seems is also speaking to Aditya over it on Karan's behalf making him understand Karan's predicament. He is ensuring either Adi increase his offer price to what the current market price for biggies of such proportions is or let Karan have his way. The ball is presently in Adi's court now," adds the source.
"SRK has always in the last few years never approached the Chopras for the distribution rights because he has always been a thorough professional who has never mixed business with friendship. It is high time he expects Karan too follows suit. Next in the pipeline might be Rakesh Roshan, who too is being offered unheard of sums for his Krrish 2. He has been distributing his last few films like Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish through Yash Raj for a lesser price as compared to the market rate," the source concludes.
But one thing is sure industry insiders say. “Whether this deal happens between them or not, Adi and Karan are not going to go their separate ways.”

Kaafi with Karan
Johar wants Chopras to re-negotiate the terms for his next film Dostana; meanwhile, he is talking to other distributors
Karan Johar shares a personal equation with Yash Chopra and his son Aditya. Karan calls the Chopras ‘his family’, and has had many successful business dealings with them as well, as Yash Raj Films has distributed all of KJo’s films.
However, this may change with Dharma Productions’ next project, which is being directed by Tarun Mansukhani.
The Chopras are known for driving hard bargains. They are in the position to call the shots and pay stars a pittance for acting in their films.
Also, when it comes to distributing films, they make their own laws. Until now, they worked with Karan on a commission basis but now he wants a fresh deal with the Chopras.
Outright price
After proving his worth at the box office, the talented filmmaker believes he deserves a bigger slice of the revenue the film earns.
“Karan recently met up with Adi and told him that he doesn’t want him to distribute Dostana on a commission basis. He said that he would like to continue being associated with YRF but he wants them to pay him an outright price for the film,” says an industry insider.
SRK’s push did it
If Adi doesn’t accept Karan’s terms, he’s willing to take his film to Eros for distribution. Adi and Karan will sit down soon to sort out the details.
It wasn’t easy for Karan to make this decision, and one he would not have made without a gentle push from his good friend SRK. Shah Rukh advised him to keep his personal equations aside while making a business deal.
Insiders reveal, “It was Shah Rukh’s suggestion that if Yash Raj wasn’t ready to buy his movie at an outright price then he should approach Eros. Now, Karan is busy weighing his options and taking a final call.”
Also on the table is the option of Karan taking the film to an international studio for distribution. Will YRF give in to KJo’s demands? Watch this space for more.
