Karan Johar slammed after Vasan Bala claims he sent 'Jigra' script to Alia Bhatt without consent
Director Vasan Bala expressed disappointment after Karan Johar sent an unfinished script of Jigra to Alia Bhatt without his consent. As fans troll Johar sparking a debate on nepotism and favoritism in Bollywood, film producer Somen Mishra defends him.
Karan Johar who considers Alia Bhatt as his first daughter has often been called out for his creepy obsession with her. He has called her "best actress in the country" and is often seen praising her everywhere. Did you know he sent a rough draft and rather an incomplete script of Jigra to her without writer-director Vasan Bala's consent? This left him upset.

In a recent interview, Vasan Bala revealed that he had sent a half-cooked script of the film to Karan Johar. It wasn't even a script but the idea jotted down roughly. To his surprise, Karan called him up and informed him hat he has already sent it to Alia Bhatt. "I was like, 'Why? I would have at least done a spell check, fixed the grammar, maybe written a better hero entry.'" He admitted he was "really not happy with it". However, KJo told him, "This is how it works."
Karan Johar trolled
Now Karan Johar is getting trolled and people have once again started a discussion him favouring the nepo kids. "This is exactly what dharma does or should I say Karan does. He takes in good directors and then makes them work with his fav nepos," said one of them. Another user pointed out how Alia Bhatt was trying to cover up but failed. "Look at her trying to cover that shit up (badly) 'my memory, we met FIRST' lmao just flat out ridiculous how this industry prioritize her, she¡¯s God to them," the user wrote.

Another user said Kangana Ranaut was right about Karan Johar. "I hope this clip goes viral everywhere. Kangana wasn't wrong about kjo being the movie mafia. But kudos to Vasan Bala for admitting this publicly infront of alia. And how conveniently alia was trying to Gaslight his memory. Wow."
Meanwhile, film producer Somen Mishra has defended Karan Johar
Hahahaa this appeared on TL. This is so funny. When Vasan, me and KJ were discussing the initial story, we were DYING to get Alia on board. Matlab I don't know one filmmaker who won't. She is absolutely the best. And we were lucky she said yes. Vasan meant it was rough pitch then https://t.co/m14DSnhNUo

Somen Mishra revealed that Alia Bhatt was always the first choice and that all script pitches go to the actors. "If they like the space or so, then again you go with the final script. So many times they say yes and then the script doesn't work or even the ulta happens too. Only on social media there's so much stupidity tha til ka taad gets made. Lmao," he wrote.
He added, "And when you see the film, you will realize what I meant by we were DYING to get her on board. She is MAGIC on screen. If she had said no, I don't know with whom Vasan would have made Jigra impossible to even imagine someone else who cud have played Satya. Baki sab bakwas. Fin."
