Ahead of its release, Ayan Mukerji’s Brahm¯astra starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt has been subject to receiving boycott calls.

At the beginning of this season’s Koffee With Karan, host Karan Johar with his usual candour admitted that he wasn’t sure if the chat show would return. “We, as an industry, were vilified. We were absolutely put into the dungeons for two years. It wasn’t an easy time, a snake emoji would come out every time Koffee with Karan was mentioned. At one point, I even thought that I would never come back with this show because there was a lot of attack,” he said in his conversation with actors Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh on the first episode of the show, telecast this July.
