‘Brahmastra’: Karan Johar talks about film facing criticisms; reveals what upsets him the most

‘Brahmastra’, starring Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, has emerged as the highest grossing Bollywood film of 2022. The Ayan Mukerji directorial was praised by the audience for its visual effects and action sequences, but also criticized for its forced romantic tracks and amateur dialogues.

Recently, producer Karan Johar talked about ‘Brahmastra’ facing criticism in an interview Bollywood Hungama. The filmmaker said that he and his team members are fine with people voicing their opinions on the film. However, he also revealed what made him upset, in the process. He said 'We have people who work in the industry and for the industry. Sometimes I feel that they can be critical, but being negative is not nice. We accept criticism with open arms. Because being critical is very imperative. Everyone needs that kind of policing. But I feel, sometimes some people push that from being critical to being negative'.

Karan also added that he always wanted to ask those people why they don’t want this film to work and why they don’t want to make sure this spectacular cinematic experience gets massive footfall.

‘Brahmastra’ also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Mouni Roy in pivotal roles. The film released in theatres on September 9.
