Karan Johar and SS Rajamouli, both are ace filmmakers in the industry. They have made several blockbusters that brought them immense love and fame. In a new interview, Karan said that cinema can transcend if directors have unwavering conviction in their stories. To make people understand his point, the filmmaker gave examples of SS Rajamouli’s filmmaking. He also discussed Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Anil Sharma’s films.

During a conversation with Komal Nahta, Karan Johar was asked, “When logic takes a backseat, what takes the front?” and he replied, “Conviction”. He added, “It is very important. If you look at the best filmmakers and try to understand their journey, their greatest or most successful films are a result of conviction. If there’s conviction, logic won’t matter.”

Taking SS Rajamouli’s filmmaking as an example, KJo explained that even though his films may not always follow conventional logic, the director’s absolute confidence in his storytelling compels the audience to believe in what unfolds on screen.

“Take Rajamouli sir’s movies, for instance. Where can you spot logic? You can only see conviction in his films. When that conviction comes to the forefront, even the audience will believe you. This holds true for all major blockbusters, including Animal, RRR and Gadar. They were all driven by conviction,” KJo said.

He further added that if a person is shown beating up 1,000 people with just a handpump, it’s because of conviction. “Anil Sharma believes Sunny Deol can do that, and as a result, the audience believes it too. And in Gadar 2, the moment he touches someone, they run away. That’s pure faith,” he added.
