Karan Johar defends Alpha amid trolling, poor response

Recently, filmmaker Karan Johar extended support to Alia Bhatt starrer Alpha, urging the audience to avoid toxicity and watch the film amid poor reviews and online trolling.

Taking to his Instagram story, Johar noted how the audience has risen above online negativity and called them "true warriors".

His note read: “When footfalls are a challenge ALPHA takes a solid start! It emphasises many things... the audience is way above online negativity and they are the true warriors... the stardom and theatrical pull and unquestionable talent of Alia Bhatt and the impact of a big screen spectacle is undebatable and that YRF has a continued franchise and an endeavor to create theatrical tentpole experiences that need our applause and not our toxicity!”
