Karan Johar praises Ayan Mukerji at the National Film Awards

Karan Johar, the producer of film Brahmastra, attended the 70th National Film Awards in Delhi, where the film won three significant awards. The ceremony took place on October 8, 2024. Karan Johar dedicated these wins to Ayan Mukerji, the film’s director, highlighting his creative vision and the exceptional VFX work that brought the movie to life.  

Brahmastra received awards for Best Male Playback Singer, which went to Arijit Singh for the hit song Kesariya, as well as Best Film in Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC), and Best VFX Film. When speaking to the media, Karan stated, “I can’t take any credit for the VFX. Brahmastra is entirely Ayan Mukerji’s brainchild. It’s his baby and vision. I am just here to clap loudly and humbly accept the honour.”  

The star-studded film features Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, along with Mouni Roy and Amitabh Bachchan. Ayan is currently working on War 2, after which he plans to begin Brahmastra 2.
