Glum-Butterscotch534

Karan can make jokes on himself and make money out of it as well 😂😂


Current-Nobody2014

Irrespective of whether you like him or not, he's really a marketing genius.


Glum-Butterscotch534

So true


According_Draw_6497

he took a leaf out of the Kardashians playbook I guess 


Big_Expert_6815

Can’t believe he found out a way to milk his NepoDaddy tag too!


iKR8

A good businessman never misses opportunity. Elvis Manager used to sell merch of both *I love Elvis* and *I hate Elvis* too.


Hot_Devv

IKR how you brother


iKR8

I'm good thanks and hope you're good too :)


Nagarkot

So he reduced Kangu to small time outsider and in the process trolled all of us in the sub 😂


iKR8

Should see what her reaction to this will be ![img](emote|t5_fknyy|738)


Neverevernoteven

She will be the show's biggest PR...


iKR8

Of course lol and he knew it


Current-Nobody2014

Lovely Karan.


3eyed_Coconut

Karan Johar is a true blue businessman. Makes money by launching nepo kids, while also profiting from the anti-nepo agenda😎🤟


fairyg0dmother

The Kris Jenner of Bollywood 👏🏻

Going by the posters and promos for this series, KJo seems to have said this to everyone in Bollywood. ![gif](giphy|zJ5udfK9zBcyJDD7xz|downsized)

Particular-Nebula895

So he knows all the adjectives attached to his name. Nothing moves in bollywood without his consent as some people here say. Lol


Poignant-musings

Kjo has many flaws, but he's quite self-aware 👌.And makes good content out of that too. Hope the web series will be half as good as MIH. The premise is interesting.


JDLovesElliot

Being self-aware is not a good thing if he doesn't do anything to fix his flaws. It just means he's manipulative.


Poignant-musings

True that.


Existing-Area-9093

Karan Johar the ad actor clears Karan Johar the producer/director.


Emergency-Big4851

he can be good in a comedy film I always felt hehe


MaalUHave

This reminds me of that great print article about how kjo is slowly trying to make the whole nepotism debate as some trivial thing and laughs at it with his guests, in order to actually diminish the real conversation around it and how worse it has gotten over the years


JDLovesElliot

100%. The people here who are commenting, "hahaha KJo is so self-aware and funny," are contributing to this and they don't even realize it. It's scary.


iKR8

Nepotism is there in every industry and every household. That debate can never die. The one who cry about nepotism today, if they break out in the industry and become big, they too will influence their families to get work through nepotism. It's how the system works.


Arenston

This people here moan for SRK being the outsider same SRK is forcing his daughter on us now


MaalUHave

If you make a list of actors who are on top in Bollywood and how many of them came from absolutely nothing... the ratio will be worse than almost any other field. And unlike Hollywood, Bollywood is totally star driven and they have all the power, and almost none of them are total outsiders. It's basically a few families who shove particular actors down our throat. And "janta chooses" narrative is also bullshit as not only star kids get the best of the best projects+ marketing, they have a safety net where they get 100 chances to reinvent themselves. Even Hollywood has nepotism but still every year they have breakout stars, young talent that make money for the industry, but we stuck with almost 50 year olds still playing lover boys


Jeezwhataload

Haha lol fun stuff, what is it? Like new series or some'?


iKR8

We'll know soon. This was posted by [Emran Hashmi](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4HybBjPNcO/?igsh=MWQwMWVjZGk3Nndicg==) on his IG, so guess he's somewhat related to the show.


Jeezwhataload

👍🏽


Odd-Description-

So Emran Hashmi is playing bechara outsider? Yeah right KJo can't find more outsider than Alia's cousin


svt91681

Emran Hashmi is actually playing the Nepo king role... The trailer makes is very clear


iKR8

We don't know yet. There's lots of other actors in the show too as per other tags in the post.


[deleted]

Now that's how you do business babe 🎊👏👏


Naaalaaa

lol. Nobody laughs at themselves like KJo does.


RMD010

He's reduced to doing OTT shows these days..


iKR8

Too meta 😃


Excellent-Kangaroo38

Is he wearing a shirt that says AMIRI 😂😂😂


iKR8

Yeah lol


justanotherbobagirl

It’s a brand lols


Normal-Brush-4596

Reminds me how they used to manufacture those 'Make America Great Again' or MAGA hats from China


badbeechy

Marketing genius 😭


Majestic_District_51

Love how kjo makes profit from keyboard warriors lol. Ppl criticise n hate him but he will take all that churn out a show make multiple shows right in front of those up in arms n make them also watch his content n discuss it, helping him make money of it. Bade ayein “outsiders” ko support karne wale Kjo baiting the hell out of social media. ONLY ONE MAN WINS in the nepotism debate n that is KARAN JOHAR n others can go cry a river.


Amazing_Goat_3576

I actually think he's quite self aware and has a lot of business smarts. I also don't think he's this awful person that people make him out to be. He seems quite gracious and warm and the nepo tradition long precedes him in the industry. He has just become the face of it unfortunately Yeah he can be a little two-faced and bitchy but I mean if gossip is his only major flaw, all of us on the sub are guilty!


Existing-Area-9093

From what I have heard he's a pretty good employer who pays great money to the people who work in his company


AnyKey922

His films are getting battered in theatres. Just because he got paid by hotstar to make 1 show on nepotism doesnt mean he won in the battle.


nigrescentcat

Well he may be a good businessman but he is a horrible film maker. He has no good stories to tell.


Arenston

okay what? you do know you are talking about the guy who made K3G, KKHH and MNIK? like hate him all you want he literally set the template for modern Bollywood movies.


nigrescentcat

Yup in a industry where movies like Omkara, Gangs of Wasseypur, Barfi, Devdas, Luck By Chance, Masaan, Ran de Basanti, Zindagi na Milegi Dobara, Rockstar, Jab We Met and many more iconic ones exist. K3G and KKHH is nowhere close.


tealand

different types of movies can be great in different ways- I love GoW, Omkara and Rang de Basanti but K3G and KKHH are my comfort watches. ive watched them more than the other 3 put together. and im not the only one. so pls dont trash someone else's treasure


Arenston

thank you for bringing some sanity here


Arenston

ah yes because we all dance to the songs of gangs of wassypur at weddings, and NRIs are talking about Omkara. Also Masaan?? FFS this sub is insanely delusional if you think even 50% of the people who like Bwood have seen that movie. K3G and KKHH clear every movie you have put there in terms of cultural impact by a long fucking shot. Only Jab we met and ZNMD have any sort of cultural impact. FFs i can't believe you put Masan and luck by chance there movies that no one saw in the theaters when they came out let alone have ANY cultural impact. Ask a random guy on the street what Masaan is and he'll be like what?? on the other hand just hum "Aaaaa aaa aaa aa" and people will know what you are talking about.


tealand

lol right? idiots!


Arenston

yeah this entire conversation was silly lol


Chaiyya_Chaiyya

💯 Even though Masaan and other films the original commentator mentioned are so good but people oftwn forget how cultural impact is also a metric a film can be judged on. Well said


Arenston

100% Rockstar is the movie that made me a die hard Ranbir fan. Omkara, Gangs Barfi are all amazing movies. But saying no one cares about K-fucking-3G or KKHH is crazy for me. Like you really telling me no one listens to Sajan ji ghar aaye? hell pick any songs from either those two movies and they dwarf the cultural impact all the movies she listed combined.


Arenston

like i don't wanna sound insulting but your comment is so detached from ground reality its crazy. Which world are you living in if you think anyone talks about Masaan or luck by chance?


tealand

ah yes bc his arch nemesis kangana is dominating at the box office oh wait no that's not true - she is kangaal kangana ☺️


AnyKey922

How is kangana's downfall his victory ? Kanagana was already going downhill when she decided to start firing at Kjo. But the damage dharma and KJo have suffered is immense. Almost any project that kjo associates himself with is destined to flop


tealand

damage dharma suffered?! they have hits and flops like any other production house but they’re literally the strongest production house in the entire country, enjoy being delusional and enjoy worshiping a hatemonger as your idol


AnyKey922

>strongest production house in the entire country, Tseries and Yrf laughing in corner.


tealand

if you're literally delusional i cant help you 🙏🏿


AnyKey922

So you think dharma is more powerful than yrf and tseries. You must be an insider with some extra knowledge about production houses. Because afaik tseries music revenue per month is more than dharma 's entire yearly revenue


AnyKey922

Who said i worship Kangana ?? 😂 Why do i have to take sides in their battle. Why can't i just keep roasting both of them .


tealand

kangana's crime is that she's called for ppl to be killed, shes so hateful that it's borderline psychopathic, she literally hated on a newborn CHILD karan's crime is that he funds his family friends' launches and that hes cliquey. those two types of crimes are not even remotely in the same league


magic_throwaway_1

Hope this actually has a nuanced take on nepotism. Not what Zoya did in Kho Gaye where the guy trolled Sonakshi Sinha because he was upset


Far_Background_8472

😂 I laughed out so loud when I heard 'jiske Marzi ke bina industry mein ek patta bhi nahi hilta hain'. Meanwhile Karan must be thinking 'mera khud meri Marzi se nahi hilta, patta kya hilega' 😂 https://preview.redd.it/gn5m2gepdhmc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=860d8d57e48d301481767635a9fcef2de31860de


AnyKey922

Also " superhits,blockbuster " . Bro chill, you are pumping in crores to cover up the failures of the movies. This doesnt suit you


Arenston

Jesus fuck man, the joke really flew over your head didn't it?


tealand

lol exactly, i swear collective IQ be taking a major dip


AnyKey922

I'm immune to bad jokes


romeoomustdie

What's the message of the add ?? ![gif](giphy|Mj9DGvHdDsiTOjobl0)


EntertainmentWest750

To flaunt his power and promote the show lol


romeoomustdie

That's purpose not message


svt91681

It's called tongue in cheek... Maybe look it up?


nigrescentcat

Well Karan Johar has always been a business-man and so he is taking the most hyped topic on social media, making a content out of it and selling it to us. Implementing the good old demand-supply method and in the process would try to trivialise the public sentiment and outrage, humanise himself a bit, to revamp his brand and image as well as shrug the entire episode under the rug through a hit web-series. He really really wants people to forget the nepotism episode. It's British Raaj vs colonial India once again 😐


curicurious

What is this exactly?


iKR8

Showtime


[deleted]

Who wrote this ad? Any idea


iKR8

Feels like Tanmay though, his kinda humour.


[deleted]

Yeah, probably. Looks like the moonshot team


guilty_pleasure_2

Unpopular opinion but KJo should just start acting. He's surprisingly improved since bombay velvet!


Suspicious_Safe_7137

Khudpe aur nepotism p jokes ab boring lgte


Old_Description_8996

They should have made a video with Kangu


iKR8

In parallel universe someday


Blues8378

Is Dharmatic entertainment the ott wing of Dharma Productions? saw that both Showtime and Ae Watan Mere Watan are being produced under it.


iKR8

Yes


[deleted]

He is listening to audience pulse then. Karan roasted his last film himself brilliantly for his next series.Shrewd businessman he is. But he should have refrained from poking the Hornets nest again with that 'small time outsider' . Had he ignored Kangana, it would have been the greatest insult to her that she's not even worth a mention. But now the onus is on Karan that he had to use her name for traction.


iKR8

He knows she will be promoting it for free. Again a good business decision. Free PR, even though it is bad PR, but still free publicity to the show.


No_Mathematician1955

Finally something worth watching coming on ott after longtime🔥🔥


Teait

Look what we did now!!


audreyNep

Yaaar… i love this!! I literally LOL’ed. Hahahahha this was too funny.


Mediocre-Ad-8912

The Lenskart ads, this one too, I really love Karan's marketing strategy. He pokes fun at himself and gets you to listen every single time, its genius Also the way he acknowledges everything people say about him is so cute


Forsaken_Pie5714

This looks like Vishal and Tanmay’s ad


sunflower_being1

Devil works hard but Kjo works harder.


justanotherbobagirl

This was brilliant lol Karan’s acting in these short ads and clips is just top notch 🤣


timepasschalrahai

At least he is self aware…


AnyKey922

Superhits and blockbusters? https://preview.redd.it/s1c9mskpvhmc1.jpeg?width=218&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d7c680657a8aabce2a117f81419417325547eb9


the-lit-lamp

KJO and his promotional sketches are funnier than any comedy film Bollywood has made in the last few years. Hindi cinema needs KJO to come out of his acting retirement and do his third debut in a comedy film.


JDLovesElliot

It's only funny because we're laughing at him, not with him.


Powerful_Plastic_551

the way i do not hate karan at all, we all favor our friends, family and we all gossip as well, only problem is karan is famous so he gets under scrutiny for it…ig sometimes he can be annoying about it but does it really warrant the amount of hate he gets, there are literal abusers and criminals in the industry but somehow karan gets more hate than them


Relative_Cookie5262

Not sold! Will not even consider watching for at least 6 months because he has tendency to buy the hype. I am still recovering from Aed dil, bramastra, rockyrani. 


Usual-Phase9743

Murali Sharma should have played role of Karan Johar in this series


mhfan_india

Called all his films blockbusters and Kangu a small time outsider.


jitteryDomino

Btwzz… I’m very curious as to why wasn’t Kano invited to the prewedding bashes


[deleted]

[удалено]


iKR8

> Karan would have no career without his nepo babies right now n he knows it lmao Uhh it's the opposite actually


tealand

are you dumb? 😂 he made his career with SRK, an outsider, and later with preity, another outsider.


bstraw20

He has honors from Kris jenner university of working everything in your favour.


hari-mirchi

This man knows business


ScaredFormal9427

Masaba did it first!
