During the current season of Koffee With Karan, the filmmaker has spoken at length about facing trolling and coming to terms with social media hate. He had also said that he faced anxiety issues a few years ago and had to be on medication. He had asserted that he had realised at that point that multiple issues escalate and lead to a mental health situation, including trolling.

In an earlier interview with Bollywood Hungama, the filmmaker revealed that he was upset that some people within the industry wanted Brahmastra to fail.

“While I have no problems with everyone’s opinions, I sometimes feel sad, because within the industry we have some people, who are working for the industry and are with the industry for years. You can be critical but being negative is not nice. Sometimes, some people push that from being critical to being negative. Sometime I feel we are all part of the same industry, so don’t you want this film to work… People within the industry, who call themselves members of the media also, celebrate ruination of a film. I feel that is never a good thing,” the director said without taking any names.
On the work front, Karan recently concluded the seventh season of his popular chat show Koffee with Karan, which was graced some top Bollywood stars, including Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Akshay Kumar. He is currently looking forward to releasing his directorial Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, which is being touted as a family entertainer. The movie stars Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan in pivotal roles.
