‘Karan Johar made career-best film in Lust Stories’ with Kiara, Vicky: Vishal Bhardwaj
Lust Stories 3 directors Vishal Bhardwaj, Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, and Shakun Batra pick their favourite segment from across the previous two editions of the Netflix India anthology.
Lust Stories, the International Emmy Award-nominated anthology, returns for its third edition to Netflix India this Friday on September 18. Lust Stories 3, like the first two instalments, boasts of a wide range of four directors — Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra, and Vishal Bhardwaj. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, the four directors picked their favourite segment from the previous two editions of the anthology — and it turned out to be a tie.
“Karan Johar made his career’s best film in Lust Stories,” says Vishal. “I really loved Kiara Advani’s performance. And Vicky (Kushal) is so good! But directorially, it’s a very strong film.” Karan’s segment in the first edition of Lust Stories, which released in 2018, revolved around a newly-married small-town couple, played by Kiara and Vicky Kaushal, where the wife is disappointed that her husband doesn’t slow himself down to please her sexually.
