Karan Johar Wanted To 'Murder' Anushka Sharma's Career

Karan Johar, who is labelled a movie mafia by Kangana Ranaut and a flagrant example of nepotism, once confessed to murdering Anushka Sharma's career. Amid Priyanka Chopra's statement of being tired of politics in Bollywood and leaving the industry due to the same reason, this confession of KJo is going viral, where she said that he almost murdered Anushka Sharma's career before taking off. In an interaction Karan Johar recalls how he almost murdered Anushka Sharma's career after Aditya Chopra showed him her picture to cast her in Ran Ne Bana Di Jodi opposite Shah Rukh Khan. 

He insisted Aditya Chopra not cast her but instead cast Sonam Kapoor opposite SRK, but after Aditya didn't listen to him and yet cast Anushka in the film, he reluctantly watched and was amazed. "Because when Aditya Chopra showed me her image, I was like, No, no, mad or what? You're signing her, you crazy! There is no need for you to sign this, Anushka Sharma'. There was another lead actress at that time who I wanted Adi to sign, and I was totally behind the scenes sabotaging her completely. The movie was also something I was reluctantly watching, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi." 

Anushka Sharma made her successful debut with the 2008 film, starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan. The film was directed by Aditya Chopra and was a super hit at the box office.
