In a crossover that has sent social media into a frenzy, Indian filmmaker Karan Johar recently shared a deeply personal and humorous encounter with Hollywood legends Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. The meeting took place in Japan during the international promotional tour for the highly anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2.
The interaction, which Johar described as a “confession” rather than a mere social media update, highlighted the filmmaker’s long-standing obsession with the 2006 fashion-world classic. Johar admitted to having watched the original film no less than 47 times, noting that he frequently quotes it in professional boardrooms and private dinner settings alike.
The highlight of the meeting involved a candid conversation about style—a fitting topic given the film’s legacy. In a video shared by 20th Century Studios India, Anne Hathaway playfully asked Johar if he judges people based on their footwear.
“All the time!” Johar replied without hesitation, prompting laughter from the stars.
The moment took a legendary turn when Meryl Streep, the woman behind the formidable Miranda Priestly, took a moment to evaluate Johar’s own fashion choices. Observing his footwear, she remarked, “You have the perfect shoes on today!” In a nod to the film’s title, Johar was indeed wearing a pair of luxury Prada shoes, earning the ultimate seal of approval from the “Queen of Fashion” herself.
Despite his reputation as a powerhouse in the Indian film industry, Johar was candid about his nerves while standing next to his idols. He took to Instagram to express his awe, stating that he felt the “ground shift” during the interaction.
“I tried very hard to be calm and composed, but here’s another confession—my knees were RATTLING!” Johar shared with his followers. He went on to describe Meryl Streep as his “guru” in the art of acting and character portrayal.
The meeting comes as excitement builds for The Devil Wears Prada 2, scheduled for a global theatrical release on May 1, 2026. The sequel reunites the original powerhouse cast, including Streep, Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, under the direction of David Frankel.
The story reportedly follows Hathaway’s character, Andy, as she navigates a transformed media landscape, while Miranda Priestly faces the challenge of maintaining her magazine’s relevance in a digital-first world.
For Johar, the experience was more than just a promotional stop. He concluded his heartfelt tribute by claiming the photograph of the trio is so precious it is “going in my will,” punctuating the post with the iconic sign-off: “That’s all.” To
