Karan Johar on misinterpretation of Vasan Bala’s remarks on Jigra script

Filmmaker Karan Johar responded to Jigra director Vasan Bala’s comments about sharing his unfinished script, of the film, with Alia Bhatt. On Sunday, October 6, Karan shared a lengthy note expressing his frustration with the online misinterpretation of Bala’s remarks.
Sharing a file photo of a person placing their fingers on their lips, Karan Johar wrote, “Twitter became X and became my X a while ago. I broke up with the nauseous noise and muted the unwarranted angst, but social media is like the Loch Ness monster. It gets to you even when you can’t see it. So was flooded with Vasan Bala’s interview, which he answered with pure innocence and so much love (sic).”

Addressing the misinterpretation of Vasan Bala’s comments, Karan continued, “The grave misinterpretation of his comment about me sending the script to Alia without his grammar checks made me laugh initially at the ludicrousness of it all, but now is truly annoying me (sic).”
Expressing his respect for the director, Karan added, “Vasan continues to be one of my most talented and wonderful collaborators and if you see his interview and hear his tone you will totally get it! BUT NO, much ado about nothing is all over the place. I fold my hands and tell everyone please hear and read entire interviews before making clickbait assumptions! Loads of Love to all of you (sic).”
Vasan Bala reacted to the post and commented, “Love you Karan.”
In a recent interview, Vasan Bala recalled the initial email that sparked the collaboration (with Alia Bhatt). He said, “I sent one very kaccha pakka (rough) email, very stream of consciousness thought, and sent it to Karan. I think six or seven hours later, he called saying, ‘I’ve already set it to Alia’. I was really not happy with it.”
Additionally, Bala expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, “I would have at least done some spellcheck, grammar check, hygiene, written some very nice hero entry.” However, Karan reassured him, saying, “This is how it works.”
Jigra is an action-packed narrative centered around a prison break. It stars Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina in the lead roles. The film is all set to hit the theatres on October 11.
