Anurag
Kashyap
in
his
recent
interaction
with
a
leading
portal,
opened
up
on
his
equation
with
filmmaker-producer
Karan
Johar.

Speaking
about
Karan,
the

Gangs
Of
Wasseypur
director
said
that
he
knew
his
father
and
said
that
the
filmmaker
was
a
late
discovery
because
he
comes
from
the
privileged.
Kashyap
admitted
that
he
judged
Karan
a
lot.

Pinkvilla
quoted
Anurag
as
saying,
“Karan
Johar
was
a
late
discovery
becomes
he
comes
from
privileged
and
I
knew
his
father.
I’ve
judged
him
a
lot.
When
I
met
him,
I
found
him
to
be
like
me
but
on
the
other
side
of
the
coin.”

Further,
the

Manmarziyaan
director
said
that
Karan
treats
his
filmmakers,
people,
and
his
directors
and
gives
them
as
much
freedom
and
empowerment.

“He
is
a
misunderstood
person.
The
most
amazing
thing
about
him
is
he
has
his
own
critic.
Today,
the
creative
head
of
Dharmatics,
Somen
Mishra
was
the
biggest
Karan
Johar
critic
and
what
Karan
Johar
did
was
hire
him.
That
is
a
sign
of
a
visionary
and
a
courageous
man,” Anurag
told
the
news
portal.

Kashyap
and
Karan
Johar

it
turned
out
to
be
a
box
office
