2023 has been going great for filmmaker Karan Johar so far. This year he returned to director’s chair after six years and that too with a bang.

His latest release ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ (RRKPK) received a thunderous response from the audience. The film entered the Rs 100 crore club recently. Moreover, on Saturday, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne honoured him as he completed 25 years in the film industry.

On receiving this special honour and especially for the love coming his way post ‘RRKPK’ release, Karan took to Instagram and expressed his gratitude.

He wrote, “These past few days I’ve just been feeling an overwhelming sense of love and gratitude from all around!!! As I found myself on stage last night halfway across the world in Melbourne – I felt grateful for the magic of cinema. Thank you @iffmelbourne for honouring & celebrating my 25 years as a director. Thank you @mitulange , your love & compassion will forever etch a mark on my heart. All my love.”
