Says a source, ÂKaranÂs been shooting in Bangkok for the past several weeks now and heÂs expected to return sometime in the first week of May. HeÂs extremely excited to work with a bunch of newcomers and had been talking about their young energetic vibe reminding him of his own days as a newcomer.Â
In fact, the filmmaker, while shooting for a basket-ball sequence for his new film, recalled shooting for another basket ball sequence in his directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and even took to the microblogging site Twitter to talk about it. ÂShooting in a basketball court after 14 years!!! Brings back so many memories... tweeted the filmmaker.
