Karan Johar took a dig at Bollywood’s hyper-masculine phase, saying films now show men “just walking in slow motion for no reason.” He mocked beard-smoking macho heroes and said cinema is chasing alpha-male trends.
Filmmaker-producer Karan Johar recently took a dig at Bollywood for turning hyper-masculine, saying cinema has entered a 'big alpha–massive testosterone, hyper alpha energy' phase. He also recalled facing backlash for making men perform classical dance in his hit 2023 film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, where Ranveer Singh and Tota Roy Chowdhury danced to Dola Re Dola.
Karan Johar Slams Bollywood's 'Alpha Massive Testosterone' Phase
Speaking to The Week, Karan said, "If one film works in a certain zone, there will be 10 more. So you will see 10 more high octave testosterone movies where men are just walking in slow motion for no reason and going nowhere in particular, but they will be walking in that way, and they'll all have beards and they will all smoke. Apparently, that's what women like to watch, is what the men think."
