Indian filmmaker and host Karan Johar recently attended The Devil Wears Prada 2 film tour event in Tokyo, where he met actors Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep, expressing his admiration for the stars.

Johar, who attended the event in collaboration with 20th Century Studios India, took to his Instagram to share photos with the leading cast of the upcoming film.

“This is not a caption. This is a confession. I am singularly obsessed and inspired by the unmatchable brilliance of Meryl Streep. In many ways she has been my guru in the art of acting and portraying characters across cinema!!”, Johar wrote.

The filmmaker revealed that he has watched The Devil Wears Prada no fewer than 47 times. “I have quoted it at dinner tables, in edit suites and in board meetings (no kidding!) So when I tell you that standing next to HER & them today, I felt the ground shift, please believe me. I tried very hard to be calm and composed but here’s another confession – my knees were RATTLING!”, he added.

The post drew attention from fellow Indian celebrities, who were thrilled to see them together and noted how Johar’s personality aligns with the film’s tone and Streep’s aura.

Johar also praised the warm welcome he received from the actors and expressed his excitement for the sequel’s release. “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 favourites of the season,” he added.
