When I got this in my inbox (thanks, Karthik), I thought it was an early April Fool’s Day joke. Sadly it was not be. It appears this trailer has been out for more than a month now and unless this was all to lead up to a massive prank, it appears to be real.
The clip below is an animated version of the SRK melodramatic cheesefest from the 90s that either captivated or scarred for life, an entire generation of Bollywood fans. Count me in the latter group, I still feel like poking my eardrums and/or gouging my eyes out when I come across a clip from this movie. Now it appears Karan Johar, the ambiguously straight, not that there’s anything wrong with that, director of the first installment, now turned writer, has trained his sights on the next generation of budding Bollywood fans with an animated version of the original movie.
Come, slap your collective foreheads.
