As talk around The Devil Wears Prada 2 grows, a small moment in Tokyo has caught attention in India, and it feels more personal than promotional.

Filmmaker Karan Johar met Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway during the film’s tour. What followed was not a usual celebrity post. It felt more like a fan writing from the heart.

He shared his pictures with both the actors and wrote, “This is not a caption. This is a confession, I am singularly obsessed and inspired by the unmatchable brilliance of Meryl Streep.”

He added that he had watched The Devil Wears Prada “no less than 47 times” and even quoted it in meetings. Standing next to her, he said, “I felt the ground shift… my knees were RATTLING!”

“They were both so warm and welcoming. This image is going in my will,” he wrote, keeping the tone light and honest.

The post quickly drew reactions. Ananya Panday dropped a heart-eyes emoji, while Neha Dhupia called it “what fashion n cinematic dreams are made of.” Director Punit Malhotra joked, “Meryl Streep must have felt so good to meet the character she played.”

The sequel, directed by David Frankel, is set for release on 1 May 2026.
