Karan Johar, Gippy Grewal, Nimrat Khaira, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Apoorva Mehta and others launched the trailer of their film Akaal. The film is significant as it is Dharma Productions’ first Punjabi film. As expected, Karan Johar, during the question-and-answer round with the media, was asked about his recent film Nadaaniyan and the criticism it has faced from the audience and critics alike. Karan gave a detailed answer on this aspect.
Akaal trailer launch: Karan Johar SLAMS critic who wrote, ‘I want to kick this film’ while reviewing Nadaaniyan: “I have a problem with those who write such stuff; it is DISTURBING”
Karan Johar said, “A lot of critics are present here. Mera rishta unke saath badalta nahin regardless of what they write. My bond is constant. You didn’t like the film; that’s your perspective and it’s part of your work to write about it. I don’t believe in the conspiracy theory that there was a mission to bring down the film. Trolls do it sometimes. Woh benaam log hai. They are going through problems aur woh hum pe nikaal rahe hai. That’s fine. I feel pity for them.”
He continued, “I salute critics. I respect them and everyone knows this. I am a rare filmmaker who has attended the Critics’ Awards. But there are times when I read certain things and I wonder, ‘Woh kisi ka beta hai, woh kisi ki beti hai’. One critic wrote, ‘I want to kick this film’! I have a problem with those who write such stuff. I don’t have a problem with trolls, opinion makers and social commentary. It’s your right and I accept it. Hamari bhi nadaaniyan hai aur gustakhiyan hai. Toh kabhi gehraiyaan hai! But when you write (nasty) stuff, it is a reflection on you. It is not a reflection of the film. It is disturbing. Nobody wants to get kicked because kicking is violence. When you are not allowed violence in the real world, you should be condemned for being violent through your words as well.”
Akaal releases in cinemas on April 10, 2025.
