Karan Johar gives away song to Nikhil Advani for ‘Hero’ remake

After years of cold treatment, Karan Johar and Nikhil Advani have patched up, with the former giving away the rights of a song to Advani.

Mumbai Mirror has learnt that KJo recently dropped by Nikhil’s office and saw the rushes of his ‘Hero’ remake, which marks the acting debut of Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty.

“Karan was really impressed and encouraged by his response, Nikhil confided that he wanted a song whose rights were with Karan who planned to use it in one of the upcoming film of his banner,” says a source.

Confirming the same Karan told Mumbai Mirror, “I had kept this particular song to use it in the future. But Nikhil needed an intense romantic song and I was happy to share it. Both he and his producer partners Madhu and Monisha are extremely dear friends and I was happy to participate in their labour of love.”

Nikhil is overwhelmed by KJo’s gesture. “He understood that the scene I had in mind needed the song and he was generous enough to let me have it,” he says.
