Karan Johar gushes over The Devil Wears Prada 2 BTS pics, says "I might need oxygen if I don’t see this film soon"

Following the viral release of behind-the-scenes footage from the shooting of the sequel, which sparked a renewed appreciation for the 2006 fashion satire that became a cultural phenomenon, he made his enthusiastic declaration.

Karan's feelings are in line with the nostalgia that many people are experiencing as the anticipation for the eagerly anticipated sequel to the movie grows.

It is hardly surprising that he admired Meryl Streep's powerful performance as Miranda Priestly, a role that revolutionised fashion in movies. With her cold manner and brutal wit, the character is still one of Hollywood's most recognisable characters.

The fact that work on The Devil Wears Prada 2 is now well under way adds to the excitement. In their iconic roles as Andy Sachs and Miranda, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway have been spotted filming in New York City.

In the meantime, Emily Blunt's Emily Charlton has emerged as Miranda's bitter rival in the world of high fashion media, and Stanley Tucci has returned as Nigel.

In the context of a changing digital landscape, the sequel promises greater drama and higher stakes. The movie, which is being directed by David Frankel again and is written by Aline Brosh McKenna, is slated to be released by 20th Century Studios on May 1, 2026.

By sharing a first-look photo with the caption, "Andy Sachs 2025," Anne Hathaway further heightened anticipation and sent fans—as well as Karan Johar—into a nostalgic frenzy.
