Karan Johar doesn’t mince words when asked what he’d change about the Hindi film industry—punctuality, he says instantly. For Johar, time is a non-negotiable asset, and he ensures it’s never wasted. True to his ethos, he arrived on set right on schedule (despite it being the last Sunday of 2024) and jumped into action without missing a beat. Sporting custom-designed Falguni Shane Peacock jackets, trenchcoats and all-thing-edgy and classic that perfectly reflected his bold, bling-filled aesthetic, Johar lit up the cover shoot for this issue of The Peacock Magazine with his signature larger-than-life presence.
