Taking to Instagram, Karan wrote, “Shine on, son!!! Tonight is your big night... when your family, friends, and the fraternity will welcome you to the movies with open arms (your father made that a national gesture)... You took the tough path of being behind the camera... of being a storyteller and the captain of its execution. I’ve seen you work tirelessly for over two years without ever taking it for granted.”
