Karan Johar: “You can’t have an ego if you want to survive”

Karan Johar is one Bollywood personality who has never shied away from praising his colleagues. ��This is perhaps owing to the fact that he believes you cannot have an ego if you want to survive in the film industry. ��Johar believes that it is especially important for filmmakers to put aside their ego and avoid clashes at the Box Office wherever possible.

“My advice to any producer is: It’s a commercial enterprise, if you have announced the date and there is a bigger movie that decides to come on the same date, run… You can’t have an ego, if you want to survive. ��You have to kind of have an intelligent mind to understand that… ��Don’t clash with anybody and do not underestimate the power of any other film,” Johar is quoted as having said to��DNA India.

Johar had recently changed the release date for his upcoming production, ‘Brothers’, starring Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez. ��The film, which was earlier to release on 2nd October, has been preponed to 31st July. ��Taking its place on 2nd October is Prabhu Deva’s Akshay Kumar starrer, ‘Singh Is Bling’.
