His love for London is well known and now Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar has been named the goodwill ambassador of Visit Britain, UK's national tourism agency.

The filmmaker who shot his first two films, 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' and 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' in the UK, is the face of a 100 million pound programme aimed to attract visitors from all over the world to the country.

"Britain has a certain soul that film cannot capture; you have to be there to experience it. Being a creative person, what I appreciate the most is the importance, respect, and attention given to the arts, be it West End theatre, the museums, the art galleries, or individual street performers, all have a place here," said the filmmaker in a statement.
