As Ranbir Kapoor-starrer ‘Shamshera’ bombed at the box office, the film’s director Karan Malhotra penned a lengthy note on Instagram, saying he “could not handle the hate and rage” that came his way in the last few days.

“My Dearest Shamshera, you are majestic the way you are. It is important for me to express myself on this platform because here is where all the love, the hate, the celebration and the humiliation exists for you. I want to unimaginably apologise to you for abandoning you for these past few days as I could not handle the hate and rage,” Karan wrote.
