Karan Johar is one of the most admired and respected directors and producers that we have in the Indian entertainment industry. For more than two decades, KJO has been entertaining one and all with his special movies and projects and we love him.

No wonder whichever controversy he becomes a part of, he generally handles everything with grace and dignity and that’s certainly worth a lot of admiration. However, we have a shocking update for all fans of KJo.

As per the latest reports in Hindustan Times, not just Salman Khan, even Karan Johar was on the target list. Reports in the media reveal that he was on the gang’s target list for extortion and had apparently planned to extort 5 crores from him.

A senior official reportedly told PTI,

“With some accused, there is an element of bragging in their confessions. The motive behind bragging is to gain publicity and get bigger extortion amounts. This phenomenon is common in Punjab and other neighbouring states. They (gangsters) want their names to get associated with high-profile cases. Mahakal is a small fish. Vikram Brar told him about Karan Johar. Why Brar told this to Mahakal, who is just a foot soldier? Because Brar wants to increase his clout and impress youths like Mahakal.”
