Karan Johar Confesses ‘We Also Send Our Own People And Say Praise The Film’; Filmmaker Makes SHOCKING Revelations
Karan Johar recently opened up about the measures producers go through to make sure that their films are watched by the audience including sending their people to review it
Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar is one of the most successful celebrities in the Hindi entertainment industry. Despite being tagged as a flag bearer of nepotism and being on the receiving end of trolling due to his fashion choices and sexual orientation, he has made a name for himself. Having been a part of the industry for over 25 years, he has now opened up about the measures producers go through to make sure that their films are watched by the audience, which also includes sending people they know to give good reviews of the film.
During his conversation at the round table interveiw by Gallata Plus, he confessed that as the movie’s PR, they send their own people to praise the film. Struggling to make a mark, they want to put out good videos. He added, “When you are vulnerable, you will say critic critic critic but then you dig out those critics who have liked the film and make that big poster with five stars, four stars, three stars and two stars. Some of these critics haven’t heard of themselves also. Where we have found those people, we do that also.” ALSO READ: Koffee With Karan 8: Saif Ali Khan REVEALS The Reason Why He Doesn't Like Son Taimur Calling Karan Johar's Son Yash By His Full Name, Here's Why!

The 51-year-old filmmaker goes on to share that the producers make every last attempt to make sure that their film is heard. Johar expressed that even though he may ‘have a big critique on criticism,’ he is also riding on the back of the critics when they praise his film. Speaking of reading the criticism of the movies he produces and directs, he revealed that even though he respects certain critics he has a problem when they start writing screenplays of his movies. He adds, “This is our screenplay. You can critique it but why are you writing your screenplay? ‘It should’ve been like this.’ But it’s not like this.” ALSO READ: Karan Johar Slams Troll, As They Suggest Him To Bring A ‘Bahu’ For His Mother As Timepass; He Says, ‘A Label Which Comes With Ridiculous Regressive Baggage’
