In a pre-recorded video film-maker Karan Johar has vowed not to engage with talent from across the border, has reiterated his patriotism and has appealed that the release of his movie not be disrupted. Johar tries his best to reflect a sombre mood by wearing black and stands in front of a black background. Read | Wish Karan Johar had expressed solidarity with Indian Army right after Uri: BJPWhatever the reasons, this video is a reflection of the pitiable state to which our society has been reduced to. It’s a pity when a citizen is forced to profess his/her love for the nation. I feel sorry for Karan Johar not because I think he makes films that are stellar works of cinematic genius — he prefers the tear-jerker variety stuffed with songs and dance (which, by the way, is purely Indian and thus“nationalistic”).
