On the 28th of October, 2016, two big films are all set for release: Ajay Devgn-starrer ‘Shivaay’ and Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.’ A lot of controversy has surrounded this release day, and now another one has come to light, including none other than KRK krk shivaay tweets
Earlier, KRK had put up a series of tweets praising Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (ADHM). And because Shivaay and ADHM were slated for release on the same day, he dissed Shivaay, saying that the movie will falter against Karan Johar’s film.

If Karan's enemy @RGVzoomin is also praising #AeDilHaiMushkil means it's an extra ordinary film. Superb! https://t.co/Qwugi9cjEf

#ADHMTeaser released Few hours ago n it has left #Shivaay much behind in survey means clash like #Rustom n #MohenjoDaro is going to happen.

I personally suggest Ajay Devgan to avoid clash with #ADHM Coz #Shivaay has to do min200Cr business at DBO to recover 150Cr investment only.

Then, shit hit the roof when Ajay Devgn tweeted an audio clip of an alleged telephone conversation by Kumar Mangat, producer of Shivaay, and KRK. In the conversation, Mangat accuses KRK of accepting ₹ 25 lakh from Karan Johar to defame Shivaay.
Hear what self proclaimed no. 1 critic and trade analyst Kamaal R Khan has to say. https://t.co/wRc7moSlsZ

Ajay Devgn demanded an investigation into the matter and also released the following statement supporting his tweet.
In response, KRK tweeted out a series of statements that he had done nothing of the sort, and that Kumar Mangat is his friend. He also defended himself saying he will favour whoever he wants to, and also pointed fingers at Mangat, saying he too offered him the same amount of money.
1.
I am not friend or enemy of @ajaydevgn or @karanjohar so I don't care which film will be hit or flop. As a critic I have to remain unbiased.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
2.
Whatever I have said about trailers of #Shivaay n #AeDilHaiMushkil that's 100% without any favour to any1 n on the basis of my liking only.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
3.
I just do survey n ppl vote so its choice of public. I don't ask ppl 2vote in favour of some1 or against some1 so blame public for result.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
4.
If @ajaydevgn feels that I am against his film then he is 100% wrong. Kumar Mangat is my friend so if I have to favor then I will favor him.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
5.
Kumar Mangat requested me to give good review of Wahiyat film #ActionJackson n I didn't criticise @ajaydevgn at all. U can watch tat review.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
6.
I can't understand why will Bollywood ppl support #Shivaay or #ADHM to make any1 angry? They both could have think before to clash only!
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
7.
If @ajaydevgn believes his film #Shivaay then he should fight with #ADHM all alone with full confidence instead pulling others in the fight.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
8.
I personally boycott #Shivaay today. I will not say good or bad about this film anymore because I don't want to become part of cats fight.

Today @ajaydevgn has proved that KRK Sirf Ek Naam Nahi Hai Balki Aaj KRK Ek brand Hai.

Let me clear it. Karan Johar has never paid me or asked me to bash #Shivaay n you can hear it in the tape. I said 25 Lakhs to avoid Kumar.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
12.
Kumar+Ajay offered me money to bash #AeDilHaiMushkil as he is offering in the tape also but I refused. I told them that I will do it free.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
13. krk shivaay tweets
Ppl thinking that I called Kumar Mangat but not true. Actually he is close friend n he only called me n he called me many times before also.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
14.
One side Ajay Devgan is calling me self claimed critic n other side he thinks that I am really powerful no.1 critic who can harm his film.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 1, 2016
15.
Today both films #Shivaay n #AeDilHaiMushkil got free publicity of millions of ₹ with my name and this is the power of The Brand KRK. G.N.

If you are talking with Kumar Mangat or @ajaydevgn then you should be careful because they can tape you.
— KRK (@kamaalrkhan) September 2, 2016
It is yet to be confirmed if the telephonic conversation is a fake one or not. But until then, this controversy seems far from over.
