Ibrahim Ali Khan recently sent waves of shock in the industry after he called his debut film Nadaaniyan "a really bad film." If recent sources are to be believed, his comments have deeply affected Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, who launched Ibrahim in the film. Notably, the film marked Ibrahim`s debut, was produced by Karan under the Dharma production banner and opened to poor reviews from critics and the audience.

Karan Johar hurt with Ibrahim Ali Khan`s remark

According to a report in Deccan Chronicle, Ibrahim`s statement has left everyone in Karan`s inner circle shocked, while many industry insiders are questioning Ibrahim`s sudden change of tone. A close friend of the filmmaker reportedly told the portal, "Karan is not a stranger to ingratitude. Many of his protégés have turned out to be ungrateful. Karan had promised to launch Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh`s son, and he kept his word. After launching Ibrahim in Nadaaniyan, he even followed it up with Sarzameen, despite being advised against it. If Ibrahim feels Nadaaniyan was bad, why didn`t Sarzameen work?"
