Mumbai/ 2 September 2016.  Its war time in Bollywood as infamous film critic Kamaal Rashid Khan (KRK) has hit back at Ajay Devgn, who alleged he was paid by Karan Johar to bash Shivaay, and said, in fact, it was the actor who bribed him to criticise the director's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, giving a u-turn to the controversy.

Ajay Devgn is not pleased with KRK bad mouthing his film Shivaay which is clashing with KJO’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil on the social networking site after initially speaking in its(Shivaay) favour. The actor suspected foul play and got his business partner Kumar Mangat to ring up KRK and check the real reason.

Even before Ajay's Shivaay and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil box offices clash next month, things have got dirty as yesterday the actor shared an audio in which KRK is heard saying Karan paid him to tweet against Shivaay. The audio, however, is not verified. It was recorded by Shivaay producer Kumar Mangat.

KRK, in his response, tweeted, "Let me clear it. Karan Johar has never paid me or asked me to bash Shivaay and you can hear it in the tape. I said 25 Lakhs to avoid Kumar." In another post, he put blame on Kumar and the Singham star by writing, "Kumar and 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."

Later he tweeted, "People thinking that I called Kumar Mangat but not true. Actually he is close friend and he only called me and he called me many times before also." While Karan has maintained silence on the matter, Ajay, 47, is already out with his statement, saying he "demands an investigation" whether the filmmaker had bribed KRK or not."

Actress Kajol, who is close friends with Karan and wife of Actor Ajay, has also reacted to the controversy. She re-tweeted the audio link shared by Ajay and wrote, "Shocked." 

The both the movies are set to hit the theaters this Diwali on October 28.
