Worked with filmmaker Nikhil Advani Aditya Chopra And Karan Johar’s companies, Yash Raj Films and Dharma Productions, recently shared that contrary to popular belief, Aditya and Karan come from different backgrounds. Nikhil also spoke about his style of filmmaking and said that Karan’s welcoming nature is evident in his films. He also reveals that Aditya is suspicious of people outside his circle and this is evident in his films.
Talking to Filmfare, Nikhil said, ‘Most people say they are similar but as filmmakers they are very different. Karan likes to have people close to him so everything is close up, mid shot but he is really wide for drama. where etc. are opposite. He doesn’t want anyone to get close to him so everything is always in mid shot and he gets really close for drama. “
When asked by the interviewer “Aditya doesn’t like people” Nikhil immediately says that this is not the case. “Adi doesn’t like it. He’s just suspicious of everybody. I don’t want to say he doesn’t like it. He loves his group that he’s really close to. He’s really, really close to those people, but he’s very suspicious of everyone else because he thinks I They don’t need it. He likes to stay at Yashraj’s place which is good for me, because when I knock on his door, he will open the door.

Nikhil said that it was because of his long-standing relationship with Aditya Chopra that he was able to convince Rani Mukerji to work in his production Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway. “When I called Rani and said I want you to do Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway, she said, ‘I have only worked with Yash Raj for nine years so you must understand that I am used to being Mrs. Yash Raj. I said, ‘Queen, I learned everything from them,'” he recalled.
Nikhil said that although the culture of treating people honestly and caring a little is disappearing, recently production houses like YRF and Dharma are becoming more aware of it. He remembers that even a senior person like Yash Chopra would try to go to the airport to pick up a star like Shah Rukh Khan, but he would take care that he picked up the spot boys as well. ‘Yash ji used to go to the airport to pick up Shah Rukh Khan and also the spot boys’, he said, ‘The industry has forgotten that culture. That’s my big takeaway. “
