A source said, “Karan will be a part of the ‘In Conversation With’ segment at TIFF, which usually features engaging on-stage conversations with leaders in the film industry and beyond. Only a select few are invited to participate in this segment.”
The source added, “Karan, who is back in India after his tour in the US, has started shooting for a celebrity dance show, of which he is a judge. Although he is going to be busy with his directorial venture and the release of Nitya’s Mehra’s film next month, he is looking forward to attending this event too.”
Karan Johar also told about TIFF. He said, “TIFF is an exceptional platform, as it brings the world of cinema together. So, doing an ‘in conversation’ is an honour for me. I look forward to meeting film-makers and members of the world film fraternity during my stay in Toronto, Canada. KANK was shown at the festival in 2006. Going back means the world to me.”
Priyanka Chopra will also be seen at the Toronto International Film Festival as a jury member for short films.
