Known for launching new talent and experimenting with fresh pairings, KJo has once again surprised fans. However, not everyone is excited.

🎬 About Lag Jaa Gale: KJo’s Romantic Vision
Karan Johar’s Signature Style
Karan Johar, the man behind iconic love stories like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, is reportedly backing Lag Jaa Gale under Dharma Productions. While the title pays homage to the legendary song from the film Woh Kaun Thi?, the storyline is said to be entirely modern — blending romance, drama, and action.

Janhvi Kapoor, known for her roles in Dhadak and Mili, and Tiger Shroff, the action hero from Baaghi and War, have very different cinematic styles. The collaboration of these two contrasting talents has fans intrigued — and skeptical.

Once the announcement broke on social media, fans rushed to comment. While some users expressed excitement about the “fresh pairing,” others weren’t so kind.
Criticism Over Acting Skills
- “So Tiger will flip and Janhvi will blink,” read one sarcastic tweet.

💡 Why Karan Johar May Be On to Something
Star Power + Freshness
Despite the online criticism, casting Janhvi and Tiger may be a strategic move. Both actors bring a huge fan following, and their contrasting personas could actually create the kind of unexpected chemistry that sparks box-office success.
Janhvi’s Growth as an Actor
Though often trolled for her initial performances, Janhvi has shown improvement with more intense roles in recent years. Films like Gunjan Saxena proved that she’s capable of delivering emotionally complex performances.
Tiger’s Strength in Action & Dance
Tiger Shroff might not be the most expressive actor, but when it comes to stunts and dance, he’s second to none in his generation. If the film leans on these strengths, it could work in his favor.
