Updated:7 years, 2 months ago

New Delhi, Aug13 (ANI): After Karan Johar’s announcement regarding the casting of his upcoming Bollywood movie ‘Takht’, Karan Johar is once again being subjected to social media trolls for being the baton-bearer of nepotism in Bollywood. However, Karan was brave enough to face the trolls, by giving them fitting replies, sarcastically. A Twitter user took a dig at Karan for favoring close friends and family, to which he said, “You must stop immediately or the world will come to a drastic end!” Another troll, who took on the ace director for his film ‘Takht’, was not spared either. He wrote, “Ma’m...your clever coinage is original and has a dash of humour but nothing can match your beautiful DP image! Hand on chin and looking at an undisclosed location....” Johar’s flick ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’ completed 12 years on August 11. However, a number of social media users blamed Karan for promoting extra-marital affairs through the film. Karan took the attacks with a pinch of salt saying, “Hello uninformed person! You cannot promote something that is already a big hit!” Karan’s last directorial venture ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Karan will be donning the director’s hat for ‘Takht’ after two years. The flick, starring Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and Bhumi Pednekar, will hit the silver screen in 2020.
