Karan Johar Shared His Experience Of Working With Amrish Puri
In his famous chat show Koffee With Karan Season 8, which featured Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty, KJO revealed that he was traumatised by late legendary actor Amrish Puri on the sets of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. He shared, “I have to tell you, my father and Amrish ji come from the same village, so the first person my father told me whose feet I had to touch was Amrish ji’s.” To this, Ajay replied, “The only person whose feet I have touched is also Amrish ji because the first shot I took with him, I touched his feet.”
Karan further shared his experience of working with Amrish Puri and that he was very scared of him. “So, I used to be very scared of him. When I was an AD on Dilwale, he was particular about detailing. He would come and say, ‘Ki time kya hai?’ I gave the time. I thought he was asking me the time. He said, ‘London mein iss waqt kya time hai? Scene ka time kya hai? Taaki main ghadi ko uss time mein set karu.’ About the continuity, he said, ‘Shawl kis tarah mien drape karu?’ I used to be traumatised by him. He was such a wonderful man.”
