Karan Johar praises Zoya Akhtar
Today, on November 9th, The Archies trailer was released. Right after that, Zoya Akhtar‘s close friend Karan Johar took to Instagram to write a long post praising her. Sharing the film’s trailer, KJo wrote about how she struggled to make her first film Luck By Chance. He wrote, “Zoya and I grew up together…she was the wiser one, the smarter one and still is! She waited 7 years to start her first film (so much for nepotism and privilege), she had more actors turn her down than most tables at high end restaurants.”
Karan further wrote that she went ahead and made the film and it received critical acclaim. The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director then called Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara his “favourite ZO Akhtar film” and stated that she could make a film with superstars. However, she “made what she believed in.” He concluded the post by writing, “So excited for you Zoya and the exciting ensemble of talent ! Welcome to the movies!!!!”
