Bollywood is a cut-throat industry. One day you’re in, the next day you’re out. An Instagram post, shared by filmmaker Karan Johar recently, made this point abundantly clear.

The post, a video, shows media darling Taimur Ali Khan battling it out with Karan’s twins Yash and Roohi Johar, over the lead role in Dharma Productions future future project Student Of the Year: Too Fast Too Furious, the 26th movie in the ‘Student’ franchise.

PLAY DATE!!!!!

“It’s pretty normal for us to see star parents come over to our PlayHouse to let their star kids run free like gazelles, but this was something else,” said a PlayHouse employee, on the condition of anonymity.

According to Dinesh G, the aforementioned employee, Karan Johar shouted “Let the games begin” before throwing Yash, Roohi, and Taimur into the ball pit. When Dinesh G and other employees tried to intervene, Karan explained that it’s for a casting decision.

Ever since I announced Student Of the Year 2: This Time It’s Personal, I’ve been getting a lot of flak from my twins and their best friend Taimur for not even considering them for the lead roles. So I figured I’ll get this out of the way before they’re ready to make their debut in the 26th instalment of the movie franchise,” read the statement released by Karan.

According to eyewitnesses, Karan and Kareena Kapoor, Taimur’s mother, stood around the pit, cheering on the fighting kids. “It was disturbing, but also entertaining,” said Dinesh G.

At this moment, it isn’t clear as to who finally won the Gladiator-esque tournament, as the event abruptly ended after Taimur started throwing a bitch fit about Roohi’s elbow coming 2mm close to his forehead.
