Johar had earlier filed a defamation suit against the YouTuber and his associates after he uploaded a roast video on his channel titled Coffee with Jalan- which parodied the filmmaker and his show Koffee With Karan. Karan, in his lawsuit, alleged that the video used abusive language targeting Bollywood, nepotism and him specifically. On Monday, 9 February, Judge Pandurang Bhosale passed an ad-interim order against CarryMinati, stating, “Prima facie, it appears that Ajey Nagar and Deepak Char (manager of the CarryMinati channel) have made defamatory statements and used vulgar language against the plaintiff. These videos need to be taken down immediately. There should be an injunction against all those who circulate and re-circulate these videos on social media platforms. This is a fit case to pass ad-interim injunction orders against the defendants.” Also read: No doom scrolling! No DMs! Karan Johar announces digital detox: What is it and why is it necessary? In his plea, Karan stated that CarryMinati, along with his manager Deepak Char, had made defamatory remarks against him. He further argued that the language used in the video was extremely abusive, warranting its immediate removal from public platforms. For years, Karan Johar has been frequently subjected to trolls and online backlash over allegations that he promotes nepotism in Bollywood. In the past few years, the trolling has intensified, and Johar has been singled out as the face of Bollywood’s insider culture.

However, this time, Johar decided to take the legal route against CarryMinati’s roast video about him.

Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, one of India's biggest film companies recently created a buzz after it sold half its ownership to Adar Poonawalla for Rs 1000 crore.

Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, one of India's biggest film companies recently created a buzz after it sold half its ownership to Adar Poonawalla for Rs 1000 crore. While this was big news, it also hinted at some serious problems the company was facing in terms of finances. During the 2010s, Dharma Productions was doing very well. When Karan Johar stopped directing movies to focus on running the company, they produced many successful films like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, 2 States, and Raazi. By 2019, the company was making Rs 700 crore per year and earning profit of Rs 27 crore. The pandemic era Then COVID-19 hit, and like many film production companies, Dharma also struggled. According to the Hindustan Times, their earnings dropped by 83 per cent and profits fell by 75 per cent. Yet, they managed to recover strongly with successful films like Jug Jugg Jeeyo and Brahmastra. They even did well with their TV shows like Fabulous Lives and Koffee with Karan. By 2022-23, they were making over Rs 1000 crore annually. However, things took an unexpected turn in 2023-24. The company's earnings dropped by half, falling to around Rs 500 crore. Even more concerning was that their profits crashed by 95 per cent, reaching their lowest point in over 10 years at merely Rs 59 lakh. These poor financial results might explain why they needed Poonawalla's Rs 1000 crore investment. What changed? This deal changed the essence of Dharma because it is no longer a single-family-owned business, which has not happened since it was founded by Karan Johar’s father, Yash Johar. According to the Hindustan Times, an anonymous source who is also an insider stated, "A lot went wrong for Dharma in 2023-24. Selfiee and Yodha were massive disappointments at the box office. Koffee With Karan also failed to generate the kind of interest it did in its heyday. And as a result, cash flow was very diminished." An exchange for survival Karan Johar, who was very close to his father and often states in interviews and on TV that he does everything to make his father proud and continue his legacy, may have had no other way than to sell half stake to make the company survive.

<p>Alia Bhatt's latest film <em>Jigra</em> has not faired well at the box office. The film is being considered as the actor's lowest opening at the box office till date. The film's director Vasan Bala has taken responsibility for its underperformance.<br />
In a recent interview, Vasan acknowledged that Alia is one of the most sought-after actors in the industry and with everyone vying to sign her for their projects, she chose to act and co-produce Jigra.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In a conversation with Fever FM, Vasan admitted that something about the film didn’t connect with the audience, which led to its disappointing performance. He said, “So it is my responsibility to deliver box office because we are in the business of filmmaking also. So which is why I need to analyze. <em>Kuch toh hua hai na</em> (Something has happened, right)? Something has happened where people have stayed away, something that they have not bought, something that they didn’t feel the need to come to the theatre. If at all any other actor decides to give their time, his or her, then you know, make it worth it.”<br />
<br />
Earlier while speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Vasan Bala said he had let both Alia Bhatt and producer Karan Johar down.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
"I do feel it. I feel it majorly. I mean, they (Karan Johar and Alia) are supremely supportive, and there is no ounce of letting me feel like this. It is something that I have to grapple with."<br />
<br />
Karan and Alia produced <em>Jigra </em>together. The film collected Rs 27.2 crore (Rs 200 million approx) within 10 days of its release. <em>Jigra </em>also starred Vedang Raina and Manoj Pahwa.&nbsp;</p>
