Karan Johar recalls his spineless moments in the past! Know what?

Filmmaker Karan Johar ran into a great trouble a few months ago over the release of his newest film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil after the political parties threatened to replace Pakistani artists Imran Abbas and Fawad Khan in the film following the Uri attacks. 

Numerous political parties even cautioned the filmmaker against releasing his movie. After much dialogs, MNS Chief finally agreed to allow the smooth release of the movie in Maharashtra, after a compensation (read- extortion) of INR 5 crore was demanded.

Karan even released a video of himself wherein he apologized and guaranteed of not working with Pakistani artists hereafter. Well, while it was a serious situation for him then, the video did receive a lot of criticism on social media with people criticizing him for having succumbed to the political pressure. His good friend Twinkle Khanna even made fun of it on his talk show Koffee with Karan.

In an interview to a famous news portal, Karan remembered the incident and told, "I felt spineless after having to apologise in 'hostage video' before Ae Dil Hai Mushkil's release," told Karan.

Previously too, speaking about this, Karan had told that he felt terrible to be in a place in his life where he had to "sit in front of the camera" and speak about his "nationalism and patriotism". 


Amongst the political tension, the film starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan released last year with decent reviews.
