And the reaction to this news was expected. Actress Kangana Ranaut re-shared the news article on her official Twitter account and slammed Rajeev Masand for giving “negative reviews to genuinely good films”. She went on to call him Karan Johar’s “minion”.
Rajeev wrote the most poisonous blind items about Shushant and me, he openly licked mediocre star kids and gave negative reviews to genuinely good films, even as a journalist he was always KJO minion. Good he left jurno facade and joined KJO officially 👍 https://t.co/Y9jkL9D9wU

She further added that the film industry needs stricter laws.

Earlier, Dharma Cornerstone Agency also released a statement on Rajeev’s appointment. It read:
“Harvesting quick decision-making and profitable partnerships amongst stakeholders and individuals, Masand’s position is set to align with the agency’s vision and values to elevate its progress and success in the industry,” the company’s statement continued.
Twitter obviously had reactions to all this:
Don’t like the way she quarrels with everyone, but this time I surely agree with her. It’s commendable that she has revealed the true face of that so called film critic Rajeev Masand.p https://t.co/oAam85aYLS

Rajeev Madand is the most unfair and partial journalist and the whole world knows that. Dharma Productions was extremely bad and now it’s going to be worst. Two biggest idiots put together. https://t.co/7hk7bodm2j

With this new development, I hope that the tradition of cowardly & damaging ‘Blind Items’ finally comes to an end. Best wishes Rajeev Masand. https://t.co/MMlqaVLRqy
