Karan Johar has been a jewel of a filmmaker for the Bollywood industry for more than a decade, as he has given us many amazing movies to remember. Recently the director took it to his Twitter handle pleading the Delhi Government to let the cinemas be running amidst the rise of Omicron cases. Well, his plead turned out to be a huge bummer for him and ended up in him getting heavily trolled.
As we all know, a few days back Delhi was declared to be kept on a yellow alert by the Delhi Government. Due to this, not only the late-night shows were canceled but eventually, the government decided to shut all the theaters and multiplexes across the state. This move ended up causing a lot of loss to the cinema industry.
Just yesterday the Multiplex Association approached Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal over the similar matter and asked the government to allow the cinemas to resume again. Today, Karan Johar took it to his Twitter account and asked the government of Delhi to let the cinemas continue to work amid the rise in covid cases.
The director’s tweet read, “We urge the Delhi Government to allow cinemas to operate. Cinemas are equipped with a better ability to ensure a hygienic environment while maintaining social distancing norms as compared to other out-of-home settings. @LtGovDelhi @ArvindKejriwal @OfficeOfDyCM #cinemasaresafe.”

While many in the film industry might think it was a good thing to keep the theatres running, there were a bunch of people who slammed Karan Johar for his tweet.

Hello Darpok! Have some shame. You're not dying of hunger or anything. COVID cases are raising. Not worth risking lives for ur cheap, unnecessary drama in ur so-called movie with so called dumb nepos. https://t.co/GYC6TO76NW
This illogical person has 0% capability of releasing his nonsense movies on OTT. Coz he is pretty sure that nobody would spare one's internet for it. So trying his level best to make it into theatre. @karanjoharhttps://t.co/TjV13Migra
