Speculation has been rife about Karan Johar and Karan Malhotra's friendship running into troubled waters. Things are believed to be strained between them following the lukewarm response to Malhotra's directorial venture Brothers and KJo's consequent decision to shelve Shuddhi.

There were even murmurs that the two are not on talking terms.But you can count on us to get you the asli story.Contrary to rumours, KJo and Malhotra are collaborating again. And we've got it straight from the horse's mouth.

When contacted, the Agneepath director said, "I'm very much with Dharma Productions. I'm working on a script for the banner. We'll be discussing the subject after Karan returns from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil shoot (which is tonight or tomorrow). I intend to take the film on floors next year." With this, Malhotra has quashed all rumours of a fallout between him and his mentor. Sure, KJo had admitted to being disappointed when Brothers didn't live up to expectations. The filmmaker then decided to play it safe and put Shuddhi on the backburner. This allegedly hadn't gone down well with Malhotra who asked the Student Of The Year director to reconsider his stance. However, it is clear that the duo has moved past Brothers. All's well that ends well.

Does Kjo think we don't know that he interferes in the movie making process?

I can guarantee that having Kareena do the Mary item number was Kjo's "gift" to Bebo and Malhotra had to go along with it.

Kjo bought the movie rights, most likely had a big role in the casting, and he was the one who asked Malhotra to make this movie when he (Kjo) turned the whole Shuddi thing into a debacle.

After all that, why blame the director for the flop when you constantly pushed your own agenda on him?

How immature is he? To get angry with people who give flops under his banner and goes running after people giving hits like a despo. This is how he treats relationships and deals with people.
