Karan Johar’s decision to judge celebrity dancers on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5
on Colors came as a surprise to many. Earlier this year, he announced
that his celebrity chat show, Koffee With Karan, will return with its
fourth season in a new format. It’s now slated to return only next summer.
“I’m still working on my movie, Student Of The Year. And I have to
give it my 200 per cent, considering it’s my first endeavour with
newcomers. I don’t want to be distracted by another project,” explains
Karan, adding, “Koffee With Karan is not an easy show to handle. It
takes a lot of effort to put everything together.”
Jhalak..., however, he says, lets him take a break: “It’s easier
judging the dance show because I don’t have to do all the running
around. I just have to provide my honest point of view as a judge, which
is not asking too much,” says Karan, adding, “Once the show wraps up in
September, I’ll channel all my energy in promoting Student Of The Year
that releases soon after.”
Considering the expectations from the dance show, is he personally
under pressure to influence the TRPs with his presence? “I don’t know
what works for TRPs. I just know I have to judge with complete honesty
and be as unbiased as I can be,” says Karan. Is he expected to dance at
any point?
“I won’t, because I can’t dance the way others can. Farah (Khan) and
Remo (D’Souza) are choreographers first and then filmmakers. It’s easier
for them. Not for poor filmmakers like me... We’re Pappus who can’t
dance saala (sic)!”
