Madness Machayenge: India Ko Hasayenge is the new show on the Sony Entertainment Channel in which Kettan impersonated Johar as a host from his popular talk show Koffee with Karan. The mimicry was disrespectful and distasteful.KJO took to his Instagram story and expressed his unhappiness, writing:

"I was sitting and watching television with my mom...and saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel. A comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste. I expect this from trolls and faceless and nameless people, but when your own industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years, it speaks volumes about the times we live in. This doesn't even anger me; it just makes me sad."

Soon after the post went viral on the internet, Kettan came forward to offer his apologies to the filmmaker. Kettan said:

"I would like to apologise to Karan, sir. First of all, whatever impersonation I do, because I watch a lot of Karan Johar on the coffee show, I am a fan of his work. I have seen his latest film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, 5 to 6 times. I am a huge fan of his work and his show. If my actions hurt him, I would like to apologise to him. My intention was not to hurt him. I just wanted to entertain the audience, but if I did something extra, I would like to say sorry to him."
