Karan Johar Discusses Actor Loyalty, Talent Management Challenges, and Business Ventures

Filmmaker Karan Johar recently described talent management as a challenging and thankless job, citing actors' frequent shifts between agencies due to insecurity and lack of loyalty. He noted that many artists move every two years, creating a cycle of departures and returns. Johar emphasized that commissions alone are insufficient for agencies, prompting a shift toward equity partnerships. He also reflected on his business ventures, including a stake sale to Adar Poonawalla, who may exit in the future, and commented on his reputation versus financial status.
