"Karan Johar never gave me money to say anything bad about "Shivaay" or for that matter, any film. So Ajay Devgn should stop firing the gun from my shoulder to target Karan Johar,"
Kamaal R Khan said at the press conference.
He further said:
"People think if they get their name associated with me they will get publicity. Why else would Ajay Devgn drag me into this? This stunt will only garner negative publicity for the film. He doesn't trust his film and that is why he is relying on critics reviews."
