Hinting at it at the trailer launch of his upcoming home production "Kapoor And Sons", the 43-year-old director said, "I will keep shut or else I will invariably land in trouble."
Wading into the intolerance debate, Johar during the Jaipur Literature Festival last month had said, "The talk about freedom of expression is the biggest joke I believe in the world. Democracy is the second biggest joke I think."
"I really wonder how are we really democratic? How is there freedom of expression? As a filmmaker, I feel bound at every level be it what I put out on celluloid or what I say in print," he had said.
Meanwhile, the 'My Name is Khan' helmer wished a speedy recover for Lance Naik Hanamanthappa Koppa, who was rescued alive six days after being buried under tonnes of ice in Siachen Glacier and is currently in a critical state at an Army hospital in New Delhi.
"I was not here... I heard ...read about it (Hanamanthappa case). It is exceptionally unfortunate. It is heart breaking. My mother told me about it (the case)...like everyone I too wish for his speedy recovery. It is truly heart breaking and saddening," he added.
