Indian Film Festival of Melbourne to celebrate 25 years of Karan Johar's cinema
The 51-year-old filmmaker said he is deeply honoured to be a part of the 14th edition of IFFM.
The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), on Wednesday, announced its tribute to Karan Johar as he completes 25 years as a filmmaker in 2023.
The film gala will host a series of events and special screenings of Johar's films in its run from August 11 to 20, the organisers said in a press release.
Johar made his directorial debut in 1998 with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and has gone on to become one of the most influential figures in the Indian film industry.
The 51-year-old filmmaker said he is deeply honoured to be a part of the 14th edition of IFFM.
Johar, who is awaiting the release of his film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, said the festival is an opportunity for him to reflect upon the last 25 years as a filmmaker.
IFFM director Mitu Bhowmick Lange called Johar "a true icon of Indian cinema" whose impact on the industry cannot be overstated.
