Karan gave me the title I See You, Arjun

It's quid pro quo for Arjun Rampal and Karan Johar. Since Arjun Rampal agreed to do a cameo in Karan's Kabhi Alvidaa Na Kehna unquestioningly, KJo has now reciprocated in kind. He has given the title for Arjun's home production, I See You, besides a lot of free advice.

Arjun says, "Karan has been a pillar of strength throughout my production I See You. He read my script and was very encouraging. In fact, Karan even gave me the title I See You. Each time I needed to take a call on something, I knew I could always refer to Karan."

"I've been fortunate," he adds. "Shah Rukh Khan too extended his unconditional support to me. During the shooting of Don in Malaysia, Shah Rukh called me to his room and welcomed me, 'Come, producer saab. My production office is there for whatever you require.' That was so sweet, "says Arjun.

I See You has been shot entirely in London. One of Arjun's aims was to capture the over-exposed city like never before. "My character is that of a London-based talk-show host. I've lived in London and I wanted to capture those parts of the city that haven't been shot before. I didn't want to show Piccadily Circus, Trafalgar Square or the Big Ben. In I See You you'll see a very different London. I wanted to capture the market sites. It's quite difficult to shoot in London. It requires a lot of pre-production planning but I enjoyed that. It kept me on my toes."


Dost No.1: Karan Johar
Arjun has a confession to make. "I love the process of filmmaking, from scripting to execution… To turn producer was a difficult decision," he says.

Ask Arjun why he chose a new girl Vipasha and he quickly replies, "The script demanded a new girl. We did think of some of established stars. But later on we decided to zero-in on Vipasha who is just perfect for the role. She has the main role in I See You. As for her name being confused with Bipasha's when that happens we'll change it to Angelina Jolie."
