Karan Johar slams filmmakers' 'irresponsible remarks' on Mohammed Rafi dialogue in 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'

Looks like Karan Johar 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' is gathering much attention for all the good and bad reasons.

The 44-year-old director recently spoke out on social media in response to his colleagues' negative comments for including a dialogue that was reportedly found 'insulting' to the legendary singer Mohammed Rafi."Filmmakers making irresponsible remarks at events..singers reveling in self importance...press releases sent to mask insecurities! Ufff...." he wrote on his official Twitter handle.In a particular scene, lead actress Anushka Sharma jocularly says, "Mohammed Rafi gaate nahi, rote the."This apparently did not go down well with the late singer's son Shahid Rafi, who now expects a public apology from the Dharma Productions head honcho.

'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' released on October 28 amidst much uproar for featuring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, who was among the artists banned in the wake of the killing of Indian soldiers during the Uri terror attack.On a related note, all these protests however did not affect the movie's Box-Office collection as it has earned 165 crores globally in the very first week of its release.

The experts who worked on colour gradation of the Ajay Devgn-starrer Shivaay say that it was a great challenge to maintain radiant skin tone of the characters while they were falling from Casa Grande (CG) mountain in the film.
Media services company Prime Focus delivered Digital Intermediate (DI) services for the film, which has been directed and co-produced by Ajay.
“The film itself is visually stunning and Aseem Bajaj’s brilliant camera work has helped create an immersive, surreal experience that instantly draws viewers into the story. The challenge was to maintain a radiant skin tone for the characters as they are falling off a CG mountain,” Ashirwad Hadkar, colourist at Prime Focus, said in a statement.
