Karan Johar left "stressed" after watching 'Tu Yaa Main', says "You will jump out of seats... through traumatising..."
Mumbai, February 13
Filmmaker Karan Johar can't stop praising Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav's survival thriller 'Tu Yaa Main'.
Taking to his Instagram handle, Karan Johar posted a long note, describing the film as "traumatising (in the best way possible)".
"NO CARDIO NEEDED! You will physically jump out of your seats right through the second half of this traumatising (in the best way possible) survival croc edge of the seater! Swimming pools will never be the same for me again.... NEVER! And if you happen to have a partner this Valentine.. take them to watch #tuyamain and tell them to wear armour because you will clutch onto them in FEAR!!!!
Noting that he was left in "stress" after watching the film, Karan added, "I am still stressed and the film got over 30 minutes ago! I feel like a crocodile may appear even in the middle of Mumbai traffic and attack me (I am dramatic I know but this film has made me take an extra dose of my BP meds)"
The filmmaker went on to give a shoutout to director Bejoy Nambiar, producer Aanand L Rai, and the lead actors Shanaya and Gourav.
"Kudos to @bejoynambiar for keeping the tension alive with solid craft and technical excellence.... @shanayakapoor02 so proud of your choices and for your assured, hugely convincing performance and playing Miss Vanity and Miss Insanity ( when the going gets scary and relentless) to perfection! Love you! @gouravadarsh you are JUST BRILLIANT as the Gullly boy and as the traumatised victim of the croc attack! I felt every inch of your FEAR!!!" he continued.
Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, 'Tu Yaa Main' is produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma under the banner of Colour Yellow, along with Vinod Bhanushali and Kamlesh Bhanushali of Bhanushali Studios Limited.
The film opened in theatres on February 13.

Another survival thriller? Feels like we've seen this before. Hope it's not just hype because of the star kids involved. Adarsh Gourav is a fantastic actor though, so maybe he'll carry the film.
Bejoy Nambiar directing and Aanand L Rai producing? That's a solid combo. Their previous work is always technically brilliant. This might be the perfect Valentine's week watch if you want to hold onto your partner out of fear instead of romance! 🤣
As someone who loves edge-of-the-seat cinema, this sounds amazing. KJo's description is hilarious but effective. Indian cinema needs more genuine thrillers like this instead of just masala remakes.
Respectfully, Karan Johar promoting every film with the same over-the-top energy can feel a bit much. That said, I trust his eye for good cinema. Will watch for Adarsh Gourav's performance – that guy is a national treasure.
"Swimming pools will never be the same" – ha! That's a mood. After watching Jaws as a kid, I felt the same about the ocean. Excited to see if this film creates a similar phobia for pools. Good release timing too, right before summer!
