The film’s  writer  Hussain Haidry’s tweet on  ‘Hindu terrorism’ has  created  a furore on  social media with  netizens offering Karan Johar  the option of either sacking his  writer  or offended  netizens  boycotting the  project.

 While Karan  Johar maintains a  studied silence  over the  controversy elements  close to his say he is seriously reconsidering the  project.

Says a  friend  of  Johar,  “He may decide  to drop the  project, since there is  no film without the writer. On the  other hand if the furore dies down  after a while he may consider  keeping Hussain onboard. But at  the moment  the option of  continuing  with  Hussain seems  unlikely, given the volume  of  protest.”
