On the 28th of October, 2016, two big films are all set for release: Ajay Devgn-starrer ‘Shivaay’ and Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.’ A lot of controversy has surrounded this release day, and now another one has come to light, including none other than KRK krk shivaay tweets
Earlier, KRK had put up a series of tweets praising Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (ADHM). And because Shivaay and ADHM were slated for release on the same day, he dissed Shivaay, saying that the movie will falter against Karan Johar’s film.
This poster says that #AeDilHaiMushkil is an emotional family film which will storm the box office.
@karanjohar I love the long hold on Ranbir’s close up ..it indicates with what passion u made this film..Suuuuperrb twitter.com/karanjohar/sta …
If Karan’s enemy @RGVzoomin is also praising #AeDilHaiMushkilmeans it’s an extra ordinary film. Superb! twitter.com/rgvzoomin/stat …
#ADHMTeaser released Few hours ago n it has left #Shivaay much behind in survey means clash like #Rustom n #MohenjoDaro is going to happen.
Then, shit hit the roof when Ajay Devgn tweeted an audio clip of an alleged telephone conversation by Kumar Mangat, producer of Shivaay, and KRK. In the conversation, Mangat accuses KRK of accepting ₹ 25 lakh from Karan Johar to defame Shivaay.
Ajay Devgn demanded an investigation into the matter and also released the following statement supporting his tweet.
“I have been a part of the Indian film industry for the past 25 years and have been associated with over 100 films. My father was a professional action director and I have an emotional connection with this industry. It therefore pains me to see that people like Kamaal R Khan are holding the film industry to ransom by spreading negativity about films to extort money from producers. It is very sad that people from our own industry are supporting such elements and spoiling the ethos of the film industry. I would strongly demand that this be thoroughly investigated by competent authorities to clarify if Karan Johar was indeed involved in this.”
In response, KRK tweeted out a series of statements that he had done nothing of the sort, and that Kumar Mangat is his friend. He also defended himself saying he will favour whoever he wants to, and also pointed fingers at Mangat, saying he too offered him the same amount of money.

I am not friend or enemy of @ajaydevgn or @karanjohar so I don’t care which film will be hit or flop. As a critic I have to remain unbiased.
2.
Whatever I have said about trailers of #Shivaay n #AeDilHaiMushkilthat’s 100% without any favour to any1 n on the basis of my liking only.

If @ajaydevgn feels that I am against his film then he is 100% wrong. Kumar Mangat is my friend so if I have to favor then I will favor him.

Kumar Mangat requested me to give good review of Wahiyat film#ActionJackson n I didn’t criticise @ajaydevgn at all. U can watch tat review.

Kumar+Ajay offered me money to bash #AeDilHaiMushkil as he is offering in the tape also but I refused. I told them that I will do it free.

If you are talking with Kumar Mangat or @ajaydevgn then you should be careful because they can tape you.
It is yet to be confirmed if the telephonic conversation is a fake one or not. But until then, this controversy seems far from over.
