Karan Johar talks about The Summer I Turned Pretty

Filmmaker Karan Johar has recently drawn the comparison between his 2012 film, Student of the Year, and Jenny Han’s series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, both featuring a love triangle.

The internet has lately been divided over Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah.

KJo took to his Instagram Story and reacted to the movie, claiming that he brought the similar drama first in the 2012 film. He shared a poster of Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra from the film.

The director made a lighthearted comparison between the show and his movie Student of the Year, pointing out that after the movie's premiere, Indian audiences were split between Team Varun Dhawan and Team Sidharth Malhotra.

Karan penned, “Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah? It’s Team Rohan or Team Abhimanyu! #WeWereHereFirst #SummerShanayaTurnedPretty.”

With its captivating plot, powerful performances, and incisive writing, Jenny Han's The Summer I Turned Pretty continues to entertain the Indian audiences.

While Karan Johar's film depicted a love triangle between close friends, The Summer I Turned Pretty centres on two brothers who fall in love with the same girl.

Fans have been eagerly anticipating the premiere of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3's final episode.

The one-hour and eleven-minute finale episode explores the lives of Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah as it follows their journey of healing and longing over the course of a year.  Conrad tries to get back in touch with his loved ones, Jeremiah rebuilds his life, and Belly settles down in Paris.
