'You Don’t Disown A Film': Karan Johar Is 'Upset' With Ibrahim Ali Khan As Latter Calls Nadaaniyan 'Bad' | Report

B-town actor Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan made hit much-awaited debur with Nadaaniyan, this year. However, his first release witnessed a massive trolling online. Ibrahim’s performance, his on-screen chemistry with co-star Khushi Kapoor and the overall storyline of the college romance drew criticism online. Recently, in an interview, Ibrahim himself admitted that Nadaaniyan was a "bad film". However, according to reports, his remark has reportedly upset his mentor and filmmaker Karan Johar, who co-produced the actor’s debut project.

In an interview with Esquire India, Ibrahim Ali Khan said, "I’m just gonna go on record and say that it was a really bad film." During the chat, Ibrahim also spoke about his next film Diler. He said, "Haha, after seeing Saiyaara, who wouldn’t name-drop Mohit Suri? Dharma, obviously, is my home. I just want to do well and after I have done well, go back to Karan sir and say, ‘Okay, Karan sir, let’s do it again’. I want to do him proud."

In a report by Decan Chronicle, KJo's close friend was quoted saying, "Karan is not a stranger to ingratitude. Many of his protegees have turned out to be ungrateful. Karan had promised to launch Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan’s son and he kept his word. After launching Ibrahim in Nadaaniyan, Karan even followed it up with Sarzameen, although he was advised against doing so. If Ibrahim feels Nadaaniyan was “a really bad film,” why didn’t Sarzameen work?" Meanwhile, another source stated, "You don’t disown a film just because it doesn’t work. Ibrahim’s father Saif was thrown out of his debut film Bekhudi. Not once has Saif spoken against the film."
