Mumbai, Feb 24: Popular film maker Karan Johar who recently hosted the notorious AIB knockout show, has said that the FIRs he has had to face has made him reconsider the sex comedy movie he was previously planning on making.

Written by Sonam Nair, the movie that could have been will not even be getting shot, because of all the flak that has been directed at the adult content employed in the AIB knockout show. Karan felt that, given the reactions he encountered for his participation in the show, the audiences were not ready for such a film at this point.

A source is reported to have said that, “Karan is shaken by the outcry and harsh criticism received on AIB Roast. Producing a sex comedy at this point will further dent his position personally. Also, given the fact that the Censor Board is now very stringent about passing adult content makes such a project unviable at this point in time. To not let Karan Johar’s brand image take a beating due to this, it was decided to drop the project for time being. It may be revived if things change for the better.”

Reactions have been quite varied, from various factions of society. Aamir proclaimed to be disappointed at the thought comedy had been presented in such bad light, while SRK said"humour is a tricky thing and will always invoke different reactions from people."

FIRs were filed against all those present on stage - Karan Johar, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Tanmay Bhat, Gursimran Khamba, Rohan Joshi, Abish Mathew, Ashish Shakya, Aditi Mittal, and audiences, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha and Deepika Padukone.
