`Kuch Kuch Hota Hai` animated version on hold

Mumbai: Filmmaker Karan Johar, who wanted to make an animated version of his hit directorial debut ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, says he has now kept the project on hold.

"Animation films are not working nowadays, so as of now I have kept it on stand-by. Let`s see when the market changes. Nothing is finalised right now. It is on a tentative stage," Johar told reporters. Released in 1998, the film starred popular on-screen couple Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Actress Rani Mukerji too featured in a supporting role, while Salman Khan made a guest appearance in it. Karan had titled the animated version as ‘Koochie Koochie Hota Hai’. ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ remains one of Johar`s most popular films that made him a household name. IANS
