Few days ago Ram Gopal Varma made snide remarks about Karan Johar and his upcoming movie ‘Student of the Year’. And we all know that Karan Johar isn’t someone to take this in his stride and not retaliate.

In his own sarcastic way Karan Johar said that he feels special that Ram Gopal Varma chose to market him.

“I was thrilled, I was thrilled to bits to read each and every tweet, I waited for the next one actually. He is an exceptionally prolific filmmaker... I mean really that he gave me the importance for being the big tool to market his films, I think nothing could make me prouder,” said Karan Johar during an event to IANS.

“I feel like the most important person on the earth, thank you. Secondly, I realized he is still alive, you know I really got worried for a moment because I thought we have lost him, so, I don't want such a great filmmaker to ever, ever leave us. So, I am so happy,” he further added.

When asked about Ram Gopal Varma’s new movie ‘Bhoot Returns’, he said, “Oh, he is returning from where? I have already said he was alive. It's his debut, is it? Bhoot Returns. I am not so sure.”

‘Bhoot Returns’ released his Friday to mixed to negative reviews.

Karan Johar’s ‘Student of the Year’ is set to release next week October 19. The movie stars debutants Alia Bhatt, Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. The movie is directed by Karan Johar.
