Emraan Hashmi on Karan Johar
Emraan Hashmi said, "Let's address the elephant in the room. It's a lot more than just that (nepotism). We just wanted to address that from the word go. If you have a show about Bollywood there has been one heated debate going on in our country for almost like 7 years now and Karan is helming things but he is the one on the receiving end. Unfairly so I feel. Because he has given equal opportunities to people who are outsiders."
"At first, a synopsis came to me two years ago. I just felt that this is the world that I have been a part of for the past 25 years. The perception of Bollywood at least in the last 3 years has been very skewed. It's a more negative, cynical perception."
