Karan Johar's 2001 film 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' is one of the most iconic films of Bollywood. Starring Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Kajol and Kareena Kapoor among others, the family drama was a huge success at the time of its release and over years, it has managed to stand the test of time.

However, a lot has changed since 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' came out and Karan Johar believes that a film like this one cannot be made in today's time. In a recent live event, the filmmaker said, "No one can afford a movie like 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' today. Getting one actor in a frame is so expensive, imagine six of them. It is a pity because it will be such a big treat to the viewers to see so many actors in one frame. I hope, wish and pray that it happens."

"Economically it is tough, but we should get the phenomena of multi-starrers back as the audience will get more for the price of one," Karan concluded.

Talking about the work front, Karan is currently focusing on his upcoming directorial venture 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh.
