The conversation then veered towards Khan telling Johar to make an action film that would be titled Dishoom Dishoom Hota Hai, with Johar agreeing to do so if Khan promised to ghost direct it.

Speaking of ghost directing, Johar reminded fans how Khan had directed some action scenes in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998).

Well, the ball was now in Khan's court.

Johar also mentioned how versatility was never his forte.
