Imtiaz Ali retracts statement about sending back ‘Highway’ crew member for hovering around Alia
Hours after Imtiaz Ali made a bizarre comment about women’s safety in cinema by sharing anecdotes, the filmmaker retracted his foot-in-the-mouth comment.
Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has been called by some as the ‘flag bearer of Nepotism’, has been targeted by trolls on social media again. It happened this time after the director unveiled the cast of his forthcoming film Takht.
Tweeple slammed Karan over the ensemble cast which includes Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor.
