Reacting to the complaint, KRK took to Twitter to say, "Haha! Producer Vashu Bhagnani registered defamation case against me for the review of #CoolieNo1. Are you serious sir? I am loving it sir. It’s proof that #TheBrandKRK is the no.1 critic of all time. It’s proof Ki Mera Ek review Bollywood Walon Ki Neend Haram Kar Deta Hai."
