“I am sure their parents are facing the similar emotions that i'm going through at this time. It’s an overly special feeling. That is something that I felt I WISHED to do. It’s an excessively satisfying emotion,” said Karan adding “this is his holiday movie”.
“After ‘My Name Is Khan’, I ACTUALLY felt I WANTED to do something where I MYSELF have a good time. I REALLY LIKE dance, song, glamour and of course, keep the feelings intact.”
“I felt I WANTED to be on a vacation even on my creative side. And that's what I exactly did… I made them sing, dance and probably everything that I like.”
“Student Of The Year” is slated for an Oct 19 release. – IANS
