Karan Johar is often criticised for only focussing on beautiful, high-class people with perfect lives in his works, but the filmmaker has said that he won't apologise for films that he has made, although he is willing to change his cinematic syntax with changing times.
"I made that kind of films because I was raised in a certain atmosphere and there was also an aspiration that was attached to my way of thinking. I always thought that cinema was meant to be larger-than-life and therefore, I created characters that were aspirational. But somewhere down the line, cinema's syntax changed and I have to kind of adapt to that, and make sure that my characters are more rooted and real, so that they don't seem so flashy anymore. I am accused of affluenza but, having said that, I won't apologize for the films that I have been made, although I think I have to tweak the level affluenza in future," KJo said, while interacting with the media at author Shunali Khullar Shroff's book launch, Love In The Time Of Affluenza in Mumbai.
