Kapoor told Chopra even he couldn't have done this
Johar narrated, "They both shot in the same year. Silsila had not performed and Prem Rog was a hit film so there was an event and a party." "Raj sahab came to him and said, 'I want to tell you one thing, everything else put aside, jis tarah tumhe essence capture kiya hai uss location ka, jo romance aap le aaye ho, I couldn't do that, you brought in a certain beauty of romance and poetry which I didn't manage.'"
Industry
Devgn's take on the shifting dynamic in the industry
Johar continued, "Yash uncle went home with the feeling that you know, it takes a big heart. And I don't feel like we have that. We release movies, the least number of calls and messages will come from the industry, it's like nobody feels happy for somebody else's success." The episode features Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty, and the former added, "It was better during our times also, that time also we used to get calls."
