Dobaaraa director Anurag Kashyap says he misunderstood Karan Johar as he comes from privilege

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s latest film Dobaaraa starring Taapsee Pannu and Pavail Gulati, has recently opened to positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. Kashyap is a popular filmmaker who has delivered some iconic and hit films such as Gangs of Wasseypur, Dev D, Manmarziyaan, and Black Friday, among others.

In a recent interview, the director discussed his friendship with Karan Johar, who has always been under fire for allegedly promoting nepotism in Bollywood.

Talking about KJo, Anurag said that the filmmaker is a misunderstood person. Talking to the news portal he said that Karan Johar was a late discovery for him because he comes from a privileged background. “I’ve judged him a lot. When I met him, I found him to be like me but on the other side of the coin. He also treats his filmmakers, people, and his directors and gives them as much freedom and empowerment. He is a misunderstood person. The most amazing thing about him is he has his own critic. Today, the creative head of Dharmatics Somen Mishra was the biggest Karan Johar critic and what Karan Johar did was hire him. That is a sign of a visionary and a courageous man.”

Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap directed film Dobaaraa is a remake of the Spanish film called Mirage.

Dobaaraa is about a woman who attempts to save the life of a boy who is indirectly involved in a murder that occurred two decades ago. The film’s central conflict is how the woman and the boy connect through an absurd television set.
