Karan Malhotra has stated that he couldn't take all the hate and rage for Ranbir Kapoor starrer, and now he believes that 'Shamshera is mine.'

Ranbir Kapoor's actioner Shamshera was expected to be the 'saviour of Bollywood.' But the comeback of Kapoor has tanked miserably at the box office. However, the director Karan Malhotra has expressed his view on his film, and he has stated, "Shamshera is mine."

Karan shared his feeling on Twitter in a prolonged post and said, "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 agreed that he ignored his film for its dismal performance. "My withdrawal was my weakness and there are no excuses for it. But now I am here, standing beside you hand in hand feeling proud and honoured that you are mine. Will face everything together, the good the bad and the ugly." He continued, "A huge shout out to the Shamshera family, the cast and crew of Shamshera. The love, the blessings and the concern that has been showered upon us are the most precious and nobody can take that away from us. #Shamsheraismine #Shamshera."
