In a recent discussion with Komal Nahata on his YouTube channel, Karan Johar revealed the secret behind creating a blockbuster film which is an unwavering confidence in one’s work. Johar emphasised that a director’s conviction can propel a film to success. He exemplified this by referencing SS Rajamouli, specifically his monumental success with ‘RRR’. According to Johar, Rajamouli’s films may not always follow logical narratives, but they flourish due to his strong “conviction”. Johar stated, “Conviction is very important. If you look at anything, especially if you analyse the journey of the best filmmakers, you’ll see that the biggest hits are built on conviction. Logic doesn’t matter in a film. Take any film by Rajamouli sir, for example. Where do you see logic? You only see conviction. And when conviction comes to the forefront, even the audience believes in it.” He also mentioned recent box-office triumphs like ‘Animal’ and ‘Gadar’, which captivated audiences by making them immerse in a seemingly “unbelievable” world crafted by the director’s vision.
