Mumbai: Ajay Devgn and Karan Johar have never shared a great rapport in the past. And now that the audio clip supposedly “exposing” “self-proclaimed film critic KRK (Kamal Rashid Khan) is out, the equation between Devgn and Johar could turn uglier.
Devgn, who is gearing up for the release of his ambitious project ‘Shivaay’ this Diwali, took to Twitter Thursday night to share a link to the audio clip carrying a telephonic conversation with KRK and Kumar Mangat Pathak, Ajay’s business associate.
During the conversation, KRK ‘admits’ to having been paid Rs 25 lakhs by Johar to criticize ‘Shivaay’ which clashes with Dharma Productions’ multi-starrer ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’.
Here’s KRK’s response to Ajay’s ‘expose’:
Sir @ajaydevgn 2-4 Dafaa Aaraam Se Suniye Isko Thande Dimag se, Aur Samajhye Ki Maine Kaya Kaha. Lol! Exposed https://t.co/2iWMWeq3eW

Let me clear it. Karan Johar has never paid me or asked me to bash #Shivaay n you can hear it in the tape. I said 25 Lakhs to avoid Kumar.

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.

Ppl thinking that I called Kumar Mangat but not true. Actually he is close friend n he only called me n he called me many times before also.

One side Ajay Devgan is calling me self claimed critic n other side he thinks that I am really powerful no.1 critic who can harm his film.

Today both films #Shivaay n #AeDilHaiMushkil got free publicity of millions of ₹ with my name and this is the power of The Brand KRK. G.N.

If you are talking with Kumar Mangat or @ajaydevgn then you should be careful because they can tape you.
