Karan Johar: I will probably be watching ‘Race 3’ on June 15 and not ‘Lust Stories’

Salman Khan starrer ‘Race 3’ and Karan Johar’s anthology series ‘Lust Stories’ are releasing on the same date i.e. June 15. The only difference is ‘Race 3’ will have a theatrical release, and ‘Lust Stories’ will be launched on Netflix. Though this will be an unconventional clash, KJo feels he cannot compete with Salman or his film.

‘Lust Stories’ is an anthology of 4 short films, helmed by Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee and Anurag Kashyap. And yesterday, at its trailer launch, when Karan was asked about clashing with Salman, he said, “Salman Khan is on a different platform. He is the big master of mainstream cinema. ‘Race 3’ is going to be a humongous film. It’s a franchise film. It’s a totally different film with a totally different syntax. We’re not competing or fighting.” (Also Read: ‘Lust Stories’ Trailer: This anthology all about 50 Shades of Love and Lust)

Karan added, “Hamari woh aukat hi nahi hai to fight with Salman Khan or ‘Race’. We are actually four very happy filmmakers who’ve made a tiny little film, which we’re very grateful to Netflix for, who’ve accepted our film with open arms. We’re not competing with anyone. We don’t have the right to compete with the magnitude of Salman Khan. I mean ‘Race’ is like… I probably will be going to watch ‘Race’ on (June) 15 and not ‘Lust Stories’.”

While we all know ‘Race 3’ is a multi-starrer film, ‘Lust Stories’ features Manisha Koirala, Radhika Apte, Bhumi Pednekar, Kiara Advani, Neha Dhupia, Vicky Kaushal, Sanjay Kapoor, Jaydeep Ahlawat among others.
