Dubai, Dec 16 (IANS) Popular Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar Thursday said that the ongoing Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) was a great platform to connect the Arab world to Indian cinema and did not rule out joint ventures.

‘It’s a tremendous festival and a great platform connecting the Arab world to Indian cinema,’ Karan said here.

The filmmaker was invited to the seventh edition of DIFF for a panel discussion on the prospect of business and cultural collaboration with various foreign film industries.

He said he would love a venture with Middle East directors, if he likes the subject.

‘It’s all content driven. If there is a subject that comes my way and demands that, why not?’ Karan told IANS after the panel discussion.

Asked if he would plot a love story with an Arab socio-cultural backdrop, he said: ‘Who knows…it depends on the screenplay.’

Reliance Entertainment chairman Amit Khanna accompanied Karan Johar at the panel discussion.

The festival, which started Sunday, will conclude Dec 19.
