KJo kasts his net

Karan is in the US, meeting people from social organisations, for his next. No prizes for guessing that SRK will play the lead

Karan Johar has gone to the US for three weeks on a hush-hush mission.

All that is known of it is that he's gone to do research on his next directorial venture which will take him into an area that isn't just sensitive and topical, but also a global issue that requires tremendous spadework.

"Unlike my other films, my next directorial venture goes into an area that I need to get completely right before going on the floors. I'm therefore in the US for three weeks meeting people from various religious, social and humanitarian organisations. None of my films so far have required me to go much beyond my imagination," says Karan.

He says it's too early to elaborate on his project. "But it raises issues that concern us in an immediate way. We cannot turn away from them, because they stare into our faces and conscience every morning from the newspapers," says Karan.

All he is ready to divulge now is that it will have ShahRukh Khan in it for sure.
