Filmmaker Karan Johar recently spoke about how he questioned making 'OK Jaanu' initially, but still went on with the production regardless. He said, "At that time, Aditya and Shraddha just had a hit, 'Aashiqui 2'...And yet, in my heart, I felt that, 'Should this film be remade?'...deep down, I knew it wasn't the right move...and I didn't act on it."
