Filmmaker Karan Johar has expressed his admiration for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' a film released on May 1st, stating that it deeply resonated with him.
Johar noted that the sequel effectively captures the present times, addressing themes such as the diminishing importance of serious journalism, the overwhelming influence of digital media, and the impact of corporate power on artistic endeavors. He found the film's ability to blend humor with these serious reflections to be its significant strength.
Reflecting on the characters, Johar observed their transformations, with Miranda Priestly appearing more vulnerable, Andy Sachs more hopeful, Nigel more amiable, and Emily wonderfully portrayed. He contrasted this with his past self's belief in the enduring power of vision over mere commercial interests.
The sequel brings back original stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, set years after the original film and introducing new cast members, while exploring the evolving world of 'Runway.' The film is directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna.
