An all out war broke between Ajay Devgn and Kamaal R Khan (KRK). Things turned worse after KRK bad mouthed Devgn’s film “Shivaay,” which is clashing with Karan Johar's “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,” on social media, after initially speaking in its (Shivaay) favour.
Devgn suspected foul play and got his business partner Kumar Mangat call KRK and check the real reason.
In the taped telephonic conversation between Kumar Mangat and KRK, KRK is heard confessing that he has to speak positive things about “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” as he had allegedly received ₹25 lakh from the filmmaker.
Meanwhile, an angry Ajay Devgn issued a statement and demanded an investigation to expose the truth and to find out if Karan had indeed paid ₹25 lakh to KRK.
"I have been a part of the Indian film industry for the past 25 years and have been associated with over 100 films. My father was a professional action director and I have an emotional connection with this industry.
It therefore pains me to see that people like Kamaal R Khan are holding the film industry to ransom by spreading negativity about films to extort money from producers.
It is very sad that people from our own industry are supporting such elements and spoiling the ethos of the film industry.
I would strongly demand that this be thoroughly investigated by competent authorities to clarify if Karan Johar was indeed involved in this," Ajay Devgn said in his statement.
However, after actor Ajay Devgn posted the audio, KRK shot back saying it was, in fact, Devgn who offered him money to bash filmmaker Karan Johar's movie.
KRK replied on Twitter saying, "Have to tweet good things about Karan Johar's film, he paid me 25 lakhs. Mangat then says, "We will also give you ₹25 lakh ... Don't get 'Shivaay' in between."
"Let me clear it. Karan Johar has never paid me or asked me to bash #Shivaay and you can hear it in the tape. I said ₹25 Lakhs to avoid Kumar," KRK added.
In another post, he put blame on Kumar and the "Singham" star by writing, "Kumar+Ajay offered me money to bash #AeDilHaiMushkil as he is offering in the tape also but I refused. I told them that I will do it free."
Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn's actress wife Kajol, who is also a close friend of Karan, also reacted to the controversy.
She re-tweeted the audio link shared by Ajay and wrote, "Shocked."
The controversy has resulted in trolling and bashing of Ajay-Kajol and Karan by each other's fans.
The two movies will release this Diwali, on October 28.
