FIlmmaker Karan Johar has addressed the exercise of paid publicity in Hindi movie theatre, locution it needs to block because it is comme il faut difficult to gauge audience reaction. Speaking at a recent event, Karan said Bollywood needs to ‘let their work do the talking’ and reduce publicity and marketing.Karan Johar wants no paid PR in BollywoodKaran recently appeared at a discussion on the industry organised by The Week, where an attendee spoke about actors like Janhvi Kapoor and Shanaya Kapoor doing ‘method marketing’ for their recent films, Param Sundari and Tu Yaa Main, respectively. She asked if this trend of PR could catch up in Bollywood, and Karan responded, “I think Bollywood should stop doing PR. It would be much better. They should let their achievements speak for themselves because, unfortunately, all of PR is now ‘paid PR’. So, if you want to say you are looking gorgeous, you just have to pay. If you have to say you are the best actor on planet earth, you have to pay. I think we are in overdrive mode when it comes to PR. So whether they are doing method marketing or not is secondary; they should stop marketing themselves and let their work speak.”‘You really can’t gauge what’s connecting’The filmmaker clarified that he was not targeting any specific actor but was speaking about the trend in general, adding that paid PR has made it difficult to gauge the audience's organic reaction. “I don’t mean the people you are talking about. I mean, everyone in general. Publicity and marketing are very important work categories, and they should be treated accordingly. But now, everything is available at a price, and that is something that could be deeply upsetting because then you really can’t gauge what’s connecting and what’s not. Now, you look at everything like, ‘Are people really liking it or have they been paid to like it?’,” he added.Karan Johar's recent and upcoming workKaran has recently produced Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri under his Dharma Productions banner. This year, the production house is bringing out Chand Mera Dil starring Lakshya and Ananya Panday, Udta Teer starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, and Naagzilla starring Kartik Aaryan.As a director, Karan's last film was Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in 2023. The film, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, was a box office success.
