Prakash Jha sides with Ajay Devgn in ongoing feud with KRK

Director Prakash Jha has come out in support of 'Shivaay' and Ajay Devgn, who he has directed in several films.

Mumbai: A huge controversy erupted recently when Ajay Devgn shared an audio recording in which Kamaal R Khan says that he was paid Rs. 25 lakhs by Karan Johar to praise ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’. Khan had also previously bashed Ajay’s film ‘Shivaay’, also releasing on the same day.

Ajay, in a statement, had said that he was pained at people like Khan 'holding the film industry to ransom by spreading negativity about films to extort money from producers'. He had also demanded a probe into whether Karan actually paid Khan Rs. 25 lakhs.

Khan, in a press conference, had slammed the allegations against him stating that Ajay and producer Kumar Mangat had offered him money to bad-mouth ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, and that Ajay had used his name to target Karan.

However, director Prakash Jha has come out in support of Ajay, who he has directed in films like ‘Rajneeti’, ‘Satyagraha’ and ‘Gangaajal’ and shared his views on Twitter.

Since the time it was announced that ‘Shivaay’ and ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ will clash at the box-office during Diwali, supporters of both the films have been divided in two camps. And Jha has decided which 'side' he is on by saying ‘they are a scared lot’.
