The viral clip is from a promotional event of Karan Johar’s film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The film starred Anushka Sharma, Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
In the video, the filmmaker can be seen confessing that he once tried to sabotage Anushka’s Bollywood debut. He said that he was trying to change Aditya Chopra’s mind to not rope for Anushka for the leading role in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The film went on to become a commercial hit.
He said, “I totally wanted to completely murder Anushka Sharma’s career. Because when Aditya Chopra showed me her image, I was like, ‘no, no, mad or what, you signing her, you crazy! There is no need for you to sign this Anushka Sharma’. There was another lead actress at that time who I wanted Adi to sign and I was totally behind the scene sabotaging her completely. The movie also I was reluctantly watching Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.” “But when I saw ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’, I felt like I owed her…apology,” Karan added.
