Mumbai, April 7 – Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar experienced a dream-come-true moment in Tokyo when he finally met Hollywood stars Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, jokingly saying that the picture would be included in his will.
Karan posted a picture on Instagram, where he first shared a picture posing with Streep and Hathaway, who are currently promoting their upcoming film "The Devil Wears Prada 2". He mentioned that he is "obsessed and inspired by the unparalleled brilliance of Meryl Streep" in the caption, which he tagged as a confession.
"This isn't just a caption. This is a confession. I am singularly obsessed and inspired by the unparalleled brilliance of Meryl Streep. In many ways, she has been my guru in the art of acting and portraying characters across cinema!" Karan wrote.
He mentioned that he has seen "The Devil Wears Prada" over 40 times.
"I have watched "The Devil Wears Prada" no less than 47 times. I have quoted it at dinner tables, in editing suites, and in board meetings (seriously!). So, when I tell you that standing next to HER and them today, I felt the ground shift, please believe me."
The Indian filmmaker said his knees were rattling upon meeting Streep.
"I tried very hard to be calm and composed, but here's another confession – my knees were rattling! They were both so warm and welcoming."
"This image is going in my will. Stay tuned, there's so much more...because I had a chat with the favorites of the season. OH, and one more thing…that’s all #TheDevilWearsPrada2 #MerylStreep @annehathaway."
"The Devil Wears Prada" was first released in 2006. The film was based on the 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger. The film stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt.
It revolves around an aspiring journalist who gets a job at a fashion magazine but finds herself at the mercy of her demanding editor.
The second installment of the film follows the aspiring journalist Andy's return to Runway as her editor navigates a new media landscape and Runway's position within it.
