Karan Johar for the first time admitted that his role as the baddie, Kaizad Khambatta, in Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet, last year was nothing short of a disaster. On Wednesday evening, while speaking to the media at the launch of the trailer of Kapoor & Sons, produced by Dharma Productions, Karan said that though he wants to act more often, no roles have been offered to him.

No one has offered me any film after <i><b>Bombay Velvet</b></i>. It was such a disastrous debut that I did not get any single offer.

The 43-year-old filmmaker went on to joke that no one was going to offer him a lead role and while the supporting actor roles were also not coming by, even his own director, Shakun Batra, did not give him a part in Kapoor & Sons.
