"I don't think you should make a divide between television and film. Today as we know it television is a stronger medium than films," he says.

The filmmaker, 45, says the digital platform and television have become huge.

"Today it reaches out to at least nine times the audience... If three million people watch cinema and 27 million people watch television. So what is a bigger platform? Today digital and television is going to be huge. I respect those who earn name and money from television," he adds.

Karan will be seen in India's Next Superstars along with director Rohit Shetty. The show will air from January 13.
