Karan Johar made Ayan Mukerji re-shoot 'Brahmastra' song ‘Kesariya’?

Director Ayan Mukerji’s film ‘Brahmastra’ went on to become a massive hit at the box office. During an interaction at FICCI, Ayan and Karan Johar admitted that they disagreed on some portions of 'Brahmastra'. Karan initially said, ‘There was no way you could disagree. Because how can you disagree with someone’s visualization?’

However, taking the conversation further, Ayan said, ‘There was stuff which Karan did not like. There was a big Kaali Puja sequence in the film. When you (Karan) saw the sequence, you were very harsh. He really bit**** about it. I hope I am allowed to say that word.’

Karan was quick to respond and he said, ‘I never did that. I said that the scene was very terrible and I said I think you need to re-shoot it. And there was actually, and we can say it now, Kesariya was shot in another way.’

Karan Johar further added, ‘Kesariya was shot with Ranbir dancing quite feverishly. When we saw the song, I said ‘What the hell is going on? What is wrong with you Ayan?’. Why were they dancing? Kesariya was shot differently. Same tune melody but treated differently. It is then that Ayan realized it has to be treated differently. It is then when we shot the Kalli Puja scene.’

He also revealed that they had to compromise Isha’s backstory for the creative adjustment that was supposed to be depicted in that Kaali Puja scene.Brahmastra's song ‘Kesariya’ featuring actors Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt was shot in Varanasi.
