After being accused of ‘misusing and tweaking’ the title of Madhur Bhandarkar’s ongoing project ‘Bollywood Wives’, Dharma Productions CEO Karan Johar responded to the director through an open letter. Bhandarkar has acknowledged Johar’s letter and has responded with a note of his own. He shared that he is willing to move forward but he is deeply upset over the title row. In a note posted on his Twitter account, the ‘Fashion’ director said it makes very little sense calling themselves a ‘fraternity’ if they ignore the standards which have been set by them only. In a note to Bhandarkar, Johar clarified that Dharma Productions’ upcoming reality show ‘The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives’ is ‘new and different’. The show premieres on Netflix on November 27. It focusses on four ‘Bollywood wives’ - Neelam Kothari, Seema Khan, Maheep Kapoor and Bhavana Pandey. Johar also apologises in the letter. Earlier on November 26, Bhandarkar had shared pictures of the notices he had sent to Karan Johar’s production house and other bodies, claiming that he was yet to get any response from him.
