What's the story

Filmmaker Karan Johar recently compared his 2012 film Student of the Year with Jenny Han's popular series The Summer I Turned Pretty. Both stories feature a love triangle, and Johar humorously suggested that he was the pioneer of such drama in Bollywood. In an Instagram Story, he shared a poster from his film featuring Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra.

Comparison

What did Johar exactly say?

Johar's post read, "Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah? It's Team Rohan or Team Abhimanyu! #WeWereHereFirst #SummerShanayaTurnedPretty." He further noted that Indian audiences were once divided between Dhawan and Malhotra after the release of his film. While Johar's movie depicted a love triangle among friends, The Summer I Turned Pretty revolves around two brothers who fall in love with the same girl.
