Movie Row: Ajay Says KRK Is Contradicting Himself In Explanations

Mumbai: Actor-filmmaker Ajay Devgan, who demanded investigation against filmmaker Karan Johar for allegedly paying Kamaal R Khan Rs 25 lakh to tweet positive about his next film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ (ADHM) and give negative comments of Devgan’s film ‘Shivaay’, has said that Khan is contradicting himself in explanations.

Devgan, in a statement on Friday said, “We have only made you aware of what KRK has said. He is contradicting himself in explanations about what he has said in the recording and what we all have just heard in his postured press conference.”

“He has not denied that it was his voice in the recording and he is now making excuses and contradicting himself. Where is the sanity here? You have heard what I have heard. It is up to you all to decide. It’s his word against his own word,” he added.

Earlier on Friday, Kamaal R Khan, known as KRK, held a press conference on and revealed that Karan Johar never gave him money to say anything bad about ‘Shivaay’ or any film.

People think if they get their name associated with me they will get publicity. Why else would Ajay Devgan drag me into this? This stunt will only garner negative publicity for the film. He doesn’t trust his film and that is why he is relying on critics reviews

“Karan Johar never gave me money to say anything bad about ‘Shivaay’ or for that matter, any film. So Ajay Devgan should stop firing the gun from my shoulder to target Karan Johar,” KRK said at the press conference.

He further said, “People think if they get their name associated with me they will get publicity. Why else would Ajay Devgan drag me into this? This stunt will only garner negative publicity for the film. He doesn’t trust his film and that is why he is relying on critics reviews.”
