"I only wish I had called them to a recent screening we had for members of the gay community in Bombay, who laughed and laughed, cried and left the cinema hall gratified. I don't need to say any more about this because our work here, to put it very simply, is done," he wrote in his blog on Thursday.
The producer says, "My principle aim is to entertain, but if I can change a few hearts and minds along the way, that's precisely what makes filmmaking so special."
Karan also thanked the audiences for making 'Dostana' a hit, saying, "It's heartening to know that a film, comedic for the most part, can still make an impact on people's thought processes."
The director is specially impressed by the fact that the audiences are not uncomfortable over the male bonding depicted in the film.
"Rather, the number of repeat viewers in the first weekend itself has been the true testament to the success of the film and more importantly, to the way it's been treated," says the satisfied producer.
Karan will soon leave for Philadelphia where the shooting of Rensil D' Silva's film starring Saif, Kareena, and Vivek is all set to begin. The movie is D' Silva's debut as director while it has been written by Karan himself.
