Recently, many seemed upset with Karan for casting Jaya Bachchan in such a grumpy and negative role. Karan has now opened up about the reason for giving her a nasty role as he wanted to ‘shake things up’. He said, “Sir, it was actually to cast against type. She has such a wonderful image on and off the screen. She is a mother figure to me. So, when I wanted to cast against type, I thought it would be a great role for her to go against what she has done. She is like a goody-goody. That was her personality on celluloid. So, sometimes it is nice to shake things up.”
