In the video, Karan is seen talking to Ranveer about his worries and admitting that he wasn't happy when Yash Chopra told him that Ranveer would be in the movie. He believed that Aditya Chopra had chosen poorly by selecting him because he didn't like his looks. Ranveer's response to these remarks illustrates his development from that point on into the outstanding actor he is today in the business. He shone like a star in his debut movie, demonstrating his mettle.

Netizens responded quickly to the video, with some accusing Karan of being critical and putting appearance above ability. They cited occasions where he is said to have disregarded foreign talent, sparking debates in Bollywood. It is clear that Karan has changed since then, though, as the times have changed. He now selects Ranveer for the main role in 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani' opposite Alia Bhatt, demonstrating that he values talent above all else.
